About JADE2

Enables histone H4K12 acetyltransferase activity; histone H4K5 acetyltransferase activity; and histone H4K8 acetyltransferase activity. Contributes to histone H3K14 acetyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of DNA biosynthetic process; regulation of DNA replication; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of histone acetyltransferase complex.
