Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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).
