Functional Characterization of Arylalkylamine <i>N</i>-Acetyltransferase, a Pivotal Gene in Antioxidant Melatonin Biosynthesis from <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i>

Arylalkylamine <i>N</i>-acetyltransferase (AANAT) is a pivotal enzyme in melatonin biosynthesis that catalyzes the conversion of serotonin to <i>N</i>-acetylserotonin. Homologs of animal <i>AANAT</i> genes are present in animals, but not in plants. An <i>AAN...
