GO:0004402 histone acetyltransferase activity

Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + histone = CoA + acetyl-histone.

Term Information

ID GO:0004402
Name histone acetyltransferase activity
Ontology Molecular Function
Definition Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + histone = CoA + acetyl-histone.
Comment Note that the term 'histone lysine acetyltransferase activity ; GO:0046971' was merged into this term because only lysine residues are ever acetylated in histones, and so the term was redundant.
