Histone acetyltransferase type B catalytic subunit

Also known as Hat1. It is present subcellularly and acetylates the soluble histone H4/H2A and not the nucleosomal fraction. Acetylation by Hat1 might be involved in the silencing of cells that were earlier transcriptionally active (PMID: 9427644). Hat1 is shown to be upregulated distinctly both at transcript and protein level in human colorectal cancer tissues (PMID: 16158056, PMID: 17694075).
