Hpa2 is a member of the GNAT (Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferases) super-family of enzymes that are found spread out across nature and use acyl-CoA's to acylate their cognate substrates.<ref name=desperate>"Histone Acetyltransferase HPA2 from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae."

In solution, Hpa2 forms a dimer, and upon binding with AcCoA forms a tetramer.<ref name=desperate/><ref name=Shiva/> It is classified as a transferase.<ref name=Shiva>Angus-Hill, et al.
