GenAge entry for EP300 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 94)

HGNC symbol: EP300
Aliases: p300; KAT3B
Common name: E1A binding protein p300

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: EP300 is a transcriptional coactivator that mediates many transcriptional events including DNA repair. It also acts as a histone acetyltransferase to regulate transcription through chromatin structural changes [514]. EP300 activity is attenuated in ageing mice [426]. Because EP300 has been associated with several other proteins that may be involved in ageing, such as WRN [511], EP300 might somehow impact on human ageing.
