NCBI Protein Information
histone acetyltransferase of the MYST family 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes an enzyme with histone acetyltransferase activity. HAM2 primarily acetylate histone H4, but also display some ability to acetylate H3. Prior acetylation of lysine 5 on histone H4 reduces radioactive acetylation by either HAM2.

UniProt Comments
Histone acetyltransferase which may be involved in transcriptional activation. Acetylates 'Lys-5' of histone H4 (H4K5ac) (PubMed:16648464, PubMed:17877703). Essential for gametophyte development (PubMed:19040736). Negative regulator of flowering controlling the H4K5ac levels in the FLC chromatin (PubMed:23273925).
