MOZ (monocytic leukemia zinc finger protein) is also known as lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6A) and belongs to the MYST (MOZ, YBF2/SAS3, SAS2 and TIP60) family. The KAT6 gene is mapped to human chromosomes 8p11.21. The structure of KAT6 is evolutionarily conserved in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. The encoded protein contains a nuclear localization domain (including H15), a histone-acetyltransferase domain (HAT), an acidic glutamate/aspartate-rich region, a double-plant homeodomain finger that interacts with acetylated histone H3 tails (PHD 1 and 2) and a serine and methionine-rich region containing a transactivation domain. In humans, the gene is broadly expressed in different tissues, strongly in the brain and low in the heart.

MOZ/MYST3 is a histone acetyltransferase which may act as a transcriptional coactivator for RUNX1 and RUNX2.

This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the N-terminal region of human MYST3.

KAT6A (lysine acetyltransferase 6A) is a histone acetyltransferase. It is a transcriptional co-activator. It acetylates histone H3 at K14 and K9 and H4 at K5, K8, K12 and K16 in vitro. KAT6A is associated with the regulation of cell cycle and stem cell homeostasis. In acute myeloid leukemia the involvement of KAT6A along with CREB binding protein has been observed. KAT6A acts as an oncogene. Mutations and abnormal regulation in KAT6 gene is associated with solid tumors and developmental disorders in human. It serves as a key epigenetic regulator of hematopoiesis. Mutations in the gene lead to abnormal acetylation of K9 and K18 of histone3 as well as changes in the P53 signaling. Therefore, affecting multiple cellular processes and controlling disease conditions.
