Gene: KAT6B
Alternate names for this Gene: GTPTS|MORF|MOZ2|MYST4|ZC2HC6B|qkf|querkopf
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a histone acetyltransferase and component of the MOZ/MORF protein complex. In addition to its acetyltransferase activity, the encoded protein has transcriptional activation activity in its N-terminal end and transcriptional repression activity in its C-terminal end. This protein is necessary for RUNX2-dependent transcriptional activation and could be involved in brain development. Mutations have been found in patients with genitopatellar syndrome. A translocation of this gene and the CREBBP gene results in acute myeloid leukemias. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10q22.2
Description of this Gene: lysine acetyltransferase 6B
Type of Gene: protein-coding
