KAT6A


K acetyltransferase 6A, is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the KAT6A gene. This gene is located on the back wing of human chromosome 8, band 8p11.21.

Function

KAT6A contains two nuclear localization domains, a C2HC3 zinc finger and an acetyltransferase domain. This structure suggests that KAT6A functions as a chromatin-bound acetyltransferase. KAT6A is important for proper development of hematopoietic stem cells.
