Gene: NAT2
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 268 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LB/B The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Arginine (R) to Lysine (K) at position 268 (R268K, p.Arg268Lys). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Similar physico-chemical property. Both residues are large size and basic. The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 2 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Polymorphism: help Polymorphisms in NAT2 are the cause of slow and fast acetylation phenotypes [MIM:243400] and influence drug therapy response and susceptibility to chemical toxicity or carcinogenicity. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Variant description: help In allele NAT2*5A, allele NAT2*5D, allele NAT2*5E, allele NAT2*6A, allele NAT2*6B, allele NAT2*6D, allele NAT2*7A, allele NAT2*7B, NAT2*14A, allele NAT2*14B, allele NAT2*14D, allele NAT2*17, allele NAT2*18, allele NAT2*19. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 268 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 290 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help DNTDLVEFKTLTEEEVEEVL R NIFKISLGRNLVPKPGDGSL The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.
