Most cancer tissues exhibited weak to moderate nuclear/nucleolar immunoreactivity with additional cytoplasmic staining in several cases. Liver cancers were mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION

Description
K(lysine) acetyltransferase 6A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the MOZ, YBFR2, SAS2, TIP60 family of histone acetyltransferases. The protein is composed of a nuclear localization domain, a double C2H2 zinc finger domain that binds to acetylated histone tails, a histone acetyl-transferase domain, a glutamate/aspartate-rich region, and a serine- and methionine-rich transactivation domain. It is part of a complex that acetylates lysine-9 residues in histone 3, and in addition, it acts as a co-activator for several transcription factors. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with autosomal dominant mental retardation-32. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
