Linked from

The 14 pages that link to Acetylation, each with the reason it gives.

• AspirinRelated: Aspirin irreversibly acetylates cyclooxygenase, distinguishing its action from reversible inhibitors.

• GlycosylationCompared with: It modifies proteins with a small chemical group rather than building a glycan.

• PhosphorylationCompared with: It can regulate proteins like phosphorylation, but adds an acetyl group.

• N-acetylcysteineRelated: An acetyl group attached to cysteine gives N-acetylcysteine its name and altered properties.

• Cellulose acetateRelated: It replaces cellulose hydroxyl groups with acetate ester groups.

• Friedel–Crafts acylationBroader topic: Acetylation is a widely used form of Friedel–Crafts acylation that produces aryl methyl ketones.

• Acetyl groupRelated: It is the direct reaction that installs acetyl on a substrate.

• GlucuronidationCompared with: Unlike glucuronidation, acetylation does not generally add a highly polar sugar acid.

• Acetic anhydrideNarrower topic: Acetic anhydride is a widely used reagent for transferring acetyl groups.

• Acetylsalicylic acidNarrower topic: The same chemical modification that makes aspirin from salicylic acid also lets it alter cyclooxygenase.

• AcetanilideNarrower topic: This reaction converts aniline into acetanilide.

• Acetyl chlorideBroader topic: This is the principal transformation for which acetyl chloride is used.

• HydralazineRelated: Acetylator phenotype affects hydralazine exposure and is associated with variation in lupus risk.

• TriacetinNarrower topic: Triacetin is produced by acetylating glycerol’s three hydroxyl groups.
