Subcellular LocationNucleus . Chromosome . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Mainly localizes to the nucleus (PubMed:27796307). Also localizes to centrosomes in late G1 and around the G1/S transition, coinciding with the onset of centriole formation (PubMed:27796307). .
ExpressionExpressed in all tissues tested.
BackgroundKAT2A, or GCN5, is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that functions primarily as a transcriptional activator. It also functions as a repressor of NF-kappa-B (see MIM 164011) by promoting ubiquitination of the NF-kappa-B subunit RELA (MIM 164014) in a HAT-independent manner (Mao et al., 2009 [PubMed 19339690]).[supplied by OMIM, Sep 2009],
