A subclass of PEPTIDE HYDROLASES. They are classified primarily by their catalytic mechanism. Specificity is used only for identification of individual enzymes. They comprise the SERINE ENDOPEPTIDASES, EC 3.4.21; CYSTEINE ENDOPEPTIDASES, EC 3.4.22; ASPARTIC ENDOPEPTIDASES, EC 3.4.23, METALLOENDOPEPTIDASES, EC 3.4.24; and a group of enzymes yet to be assigned to any of the above sub-classes, EC 3.4.99. EC 3.4.-.

Dopamine Acetyltransferase
- An enzyme that catalyzes the of groups from acetyl-CoA to arylamines. They have wide specificity for aromatic amines, particularly serotonin, and can also catalyze acetyl transfer between arylamines without CoA. EC 2.3.1.5.
