Reaction: N-acetylation of serotonin
- in pathway: Serotonin and melatonin biosynthesis
Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) catalyzes the N-acetylation of serotonin to form N-acetylserotonin. AANAT utilizes acetyl-CoA as the donor of the acetyl group.
Reaction - small molecule participants:
CoA-SH [cytosol]
