Handschin C, Podvinec M, Looser R, Amherd R, Meyer U
Mol Pharmacol . 2001 Sep; 60(4):681-9. PMID: 11562429
Binding of nuclear receptors to drug-responsive enhancer units mediates transcriptional activation of cytochromes P-450 (P-450) by drugs and xenobiotics. In previous studies, a 264-base-pair (bp) phenobarbital-responsive enhancer unit (PBRU) located...

Amherd R, Hintermann E, Walz D, Affolter M, Meyer U
DNA Cell Biol . 2000 Dec; 19(11):697-705. PMID: 11098219
In insects, amine acetylation by the enzyme arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) is involved in melatonin formation, sclerotization, and neurotransmitter inactivation. This wide spectrum of activities suggests that several AANAT enzymes are...

Brodbeck D, Amherd R, Callaerts P, Hintermann E, Meyer U, Affolter M
DNA Cell Biol . 1998 Aug; 17(7):621-33. PMID: 9703021
In insects, arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferases (AANATs) have been implicated in several physiological processes, including sclerotization, inactivation of certain neurotransmitters, and, similar to the function in vertebrates, catalysis of the rate-limiting step...

Hintermann E, Grieder N, Amherd R, Brodbeck D, Meyer U
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 1996 Oct; 93(22):12315-20. PMID: 8901578
In insects, neurotransmitter catabolism, melatonin precursor formation, and sclerotization involve arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (aaNAT, EC 2.3.1.87) activity. It is not known if one or multiple aaNAT enzymes are responsible for these...
