acetyltransferasen.
/ˌasᵻtʌɪlˈtransfəreɪz/, /ˌasᵻtɪlˈtransfəreɪz/, U.S. /əˌsidlˈtræn(t)sfəˌreɪz/, /ˌæsədlˈtræn(t)sfəˌreɪz/, /əˌsidlˈtræn(t)sfəˌreɪs/, /ˌæsədlˈtræn(t)sfəˌreɪs/; see also transferase n. Biochemistry.
Any of a group of enzymes which bring about the transfer of acetyl groups from one molecule to another.Frequently with a specifying word denoting the molecule undergoing acetylation, as chloramphenicol, choline acetyltransferase, etc.
