Histone acetyltransferase KAT8

UniProtKB accession:  Q9D1P2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Histone acetyltransferase which may be involved in transcriptional activation (PubMed:31794431). May influence the function of ATM. As part of the MSL complex it is involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 producing specifically H4K16ac (Probable). As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues. That activity is less specific than the one of the MSL complex. Can also acetylate TP53/p53 at 'Lys-120' (By similarity).
