p300
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Histone acetyltransferase, Transcription factor, Transcriptional coactivator
01

Overview

E1A binding protein p300 (p300) is a multifunctional nuclear protein encoded by the EP300 gene in humans. It acts primarily as a transcriptional coactivator and histone acetyltransferase (HAT), playing critical roles in regulating gene expression, cell growth, differentiation, and tumor suppression. It interacts with numerous proteins and is involved in several key pathways, including cAMP signaling, hypoxia response, and tumor suppression. Mutations or dysregulation are linked to diseases like Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and cancer.
