Kat2a

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and histone acetyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including long-term memory; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and regulation of regulatory T cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; chordate embryonic development; and positive regulation of gluconeogenesis. 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, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kat2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
