KANSL1, also known as KAT8 Regulatory NSL Complex Subunit 1, is a protein that plays a crucial role in chromatin regulation and gene expression. It is a component of the Non-Specific Lethal (NSL) histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, which is responsible for acetylating histone proteins, specifically histone H4 at lysine 16 (H4K16ac), a modification associated with transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling. One of the primary functions of KANSL1 within the NSL complex is its role in regulating gene expression by modifying chromatin structure. The NSL complex targets specific genomic loci and catalyzes the acetylation of histone proteins, leading to an open chromatin...
