Kat2a - K(lysine) acetyltransferase 2A

Enables H3 histone acetyltransferase activity; chromatin binding activity; and histone acetyltransferase activity (H4-K12 specific). Involved in several processes, including long-term memory; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of regulatory T cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; chordate embryonic development; and histone acetylation. Located in mitotic spindle and nucleus. Part of ATAC complex and SAGA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human KAT2A (lysine acetyltransferase 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
