Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The KAT2A gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. * It is a member of the KAT2 family of lysine acetyltransferases. * KAT2A is expressed in high levels in early-stage heart development, and its expression is later downregulated. * KAT2A is a key regulator of cardiac differentiation and function. **Pathways and functions:** * KAT2A is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cardiac differentiation, migration, and proliferation. * It plays a role in the regulation of cardiac remodeling in response to injury or disease. * KAT2A also has a role in the regulation of blood pressure and heart rate. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the KAT2A gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including congenital heart defects, stroke, and hypertension. * Targeting KAT2A has been investigated as a therapeutic strategy for these diseases. **Additional information:** * KAT2A is a highly conserved protein, with a similar gene found in other mammals. * KAT2A is a ubiquitin-dependent protein, which means that it is targeted for degradation by the proteasome. * KAT2A has been shown to be a tumor suppressor in some cancer cells.
