Background: GCN5 (General Control Of Amino Acid Synthesis Protein 5, also known as KAT2A, Lysine Acetyltransferase 2A) is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that functions primarily as a transcriptional activator. It also acts as a repressor of NF-kappa-B by promoting ubiquitination of the NF-kappa-B subunit RELA in a HAT- independent manner. KAT2A (GCN5) has significant histone acetyltransferase activity with core histones, but not with nucleosome core particles. It also acetylates non-histone proteins, such as CEBPB. KAT2A (GCN5) is a core component of the ATAC complex, which is a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones H3 and H4.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
KAT2A, 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]
Uniprot Description
GCN5: an ubiquitous histone acetyltransferase that promotes transcriptional activation. Acetylation of histones gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcription activation. Has significant histone acetyltransferase activity with core histones, but not with nucleosome core particles. Interacts with P300, CBP, ADA2, and is a component of the TFTC-HAT complex. Two splice variant isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The KAT2A kat2a (Catalog #AAA388293) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Baculovirus and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "KAT2A, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
