molecular function |
| GO:0008080 | | N-acetyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the transfer of an acetyl group to a nitrogen atom on the acceptor molecule. |
| GO:0004059 | | aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + an aralkylamine = CoA + an N-acetylaralkylamine. |
| GO:0004060 | | arylamine N-acetyltransferase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + an arylamine = CoA + an N-acetylarylamine. |
| GO:0016740 | | transferase activity | | Catalysis of the transfer of a group, e.g. a methyl group, glycosyl group, acyl group, phosphorus-containing, or other groups, from one compound (generally regarded as the donor) to another compound (generally regarded as the acceptor). Transferase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 2. |
| GO:0016746 | | transferase activity, transferring acyl groups | | Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). |
biological process |
| GO:0006584 | | catecholamine metabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways involving any of a group of physiologically important biogenic amines that possess a catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) nucleus and are derivatives of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine. |
| GO:0048066 | | developmental pigmentation | | The developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell. |
| GO:0042420 | | dopamine catabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of dopamine, a catecholamine neurotransmitter and a metabolic precursor of noradrenaline and adrenaline. |
| GO:0030187 | | melatonin biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine). |
| GO:0046334 | | octopamine catabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of octopamine, 1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol. The D enantiomer is about one-tenth as active as norepinephrine and is found in the salivary glands of Octopus and Eledone species. |
| GO:0045187 | | regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep | | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of sleep; a readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity that occurs periodically in many animals. |
| GO:0042429 | | serotonin catabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), a monoamine neurotransmitter occurring in the peripheral and central nervous systems, also having hormonal properties. |
| GO:0030431 | | sleep | | Any process in which an organism enters and maintains a periodic, readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity. Usually accompanied by physical relaxation, the onset of sleep in humans and other mammals is marked by a change in the electrical activity of the brain. |
cellular component |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
