Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - AANAT is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa. - It is expressed in a variety of cell types, including endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and immune cells. - It is a highly conserved enzyme with a similar sequence found in organisms from yeast to humans. **Pathways and functions:** - AANAT is involved in the regulation of circadian rhythm through its interaction with the clock protein periodin 2 (PER2). - It also plays a role in the synthesis of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. - AANAT is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and derivatives, including the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the degradation of damaged proteins. - It is also involved in the regulation of the immune response and inflammation. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in AANAT have been linked to several human diseases, including circadian disorders, sleep apnea, and obesity. - AANAT inhibitors have been investigated as potential therapeutic agents for these diseases. **Additional notes:** - AANAT is a highly active enzyme that is regulated by various hormones and signaling molecules. - It is a key regulator of the body's circadian rhythm and the synthesis of melatonin. - It is also involved in the metabolism of amino acids and derivatives, which is essential for maintaining homeostasis in the body.
