Summary: 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, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001033099.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform b), compared to isoform a.
