KAT14

Chr 20

lysine acetyltransferase 14

Also known as: ATAC2, CRP2BP, CSRP2BP, PRO1194, dJ717M23.1

KAT14 encodes a histone acetyltransferase that functions as a component and scaffold of the ATAC complex, which acetylates histones H3 and H4 and is required for normal cell cycle progression through G1 and G2/M phases. Mutations cause autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder with language impairment and behavioral abnormalities, primarily affecting cognitive and behavioral development. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants, suggesting tolerance to heterozygous protein loss.
