Carcinogenic aromatic amines such as 4-aminobiphenyl (ABP) and 2-aminofluorene (AF) require metabolic activation to form electrophilic intermediates that mutate DNA leading to carcinogenesis. Bioactivation of these carcinogens includes N-hydroxylation catalyzed by CYP1A2 followed by O-acetylation catalyzed by arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2). To better understand the role of NAT2 genetic polymorphism in ABP- and AF-induced mutagenesis and DNA damage, nucleotide excision repair-deficient (U ...[more]
