This family consists of bacterial aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferases EC:2.3.1.81, these catalyse the reaction: Acetyl-Co + a 2-deoxystreptamine antibiotic <=> CoA + N3'-acetyl-2-deoxystreptamine antibiotic. The enzyme can use a range of antibiotics with 2-deoxystreptamine rings as acceptor for its acetyltransferase activity, this inactivates and confers resistance to gentamicin, kanamycin, tobramycin, neomycin and apramycin amongst others.
