In enzymology, a phosphate acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction acetyl-CoA + phosphate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } CoA + acetyl phosphate The substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and phosphate , whereas its two products are CoA and acetyl phosphate .
An acetyltransferase (also referred to as a transacetylase) is any of a class of transferase enzymes that transfers an acetyl group in a reaction called acetylation.In biological organisms, post-translational modification of a protein via acetylation can profoundly transform its functionality by altering various properties like hydrophobicity, solubility, and surface attributes.

In enzymology, glucosamine-phosphate N-acetyltransferase (GNA) (EC 2.3.1.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the primary amine in glucosamide-6-phosphate, generating a free CoA and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:[acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include acetyl coenzyme A-acyl-carrier-protein transacylase , acetyl-CoA:ACP transacylase , [acyl-carrier-protein]acetyltransferase , [ACP]acetyltransferase , and ACAT .
The first step of this reaction is phosphorylation of the substrate via phosphotransferase during transport. In the case of glucose, the product of this phosphorylation is glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6P). Due to the negative charge of the phosphate, this Glc-6P can no longer freely leave the cell.
In enzymology, a glucosamine-1-phosphate N-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.157) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction acetyl-CoA + alpha-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } CoA + N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 1-phosphate
