Protein function (UniProt)

Histone acetyltransferase KAT6A

Histone acetyltransferase that acetylates lysine residues in histone H3 and histone H4 (in vitro) (PubMed:11742995, PubMed:11965546). Component of the MOZ/MORF complex which has a histone H3 acetyltransferase activity (PubMed:11965546). May act as a transcriptional coactivator for RUNX1 and RUNX2 (PubMed:12771199). Acetylates p53/TP53 at 'Lys-120' and 'Lys-382' and controls its transcriptional activity via association with PML (PubMed:23431171). May play a role in leukemogenic gene transcription (PubMed:39794553)
