(-COCH₃). This process is catalyzed by enzymes named lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) by using acetyl-CoA as donor. This process can be reversed, meaning that the acetyl group can be removed by lysine deacetylases (KDACs).

N-terminal acetyltransferases

There are seven human N-terminal acetyltransferases discovered to date, named NatA, NatB, NatC, NatD, NatE, NatF, and NatH. There is a group of plant NATs discovered called NatG.
