GCN5 Antibody / KAT2A
Histone acetyltransferase KAT2A, also called GCN5 and GCN5L2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KAT2A gene. It is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that functions primarily as a transcriptional activator. The GCN5 protein, a regulator of transcription activation in yeast, promotes maximal levels of transcription by 2 transcriptional activators, GCN4 and the HAP2-HAP3-HAP4 complex. The GCN4 protein activates transcription of a large number of amino acid biosynthetic genes under limiting amino acid conditions and the HAP2-HAP3-HAP4 complex is thought to mediate transcription of genes involved in respiratory functions. GCN5 also functions as a repressor of NF-kappa-B by promoting ubiquitination of the NF-kappa-B subunit RELA in a HAT-independent manner.
