Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity and histone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydroxyurea; positive regulation of DNA metabolic process; and subtelomeric heterochromatin formation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male gonad development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and post-embryonic forelimb morphogenesis. Located in PML body and chromosome. Colocalizes with chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Used to study alpha thalassemia-X-linked intellectual disability syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome-1; alpha thalassemia-X-linked intellectual disability syndrome; alpha-thalassemia myelodysplasia syndrome; high grade glioma; and lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human ATRX (ATRX chromatin remodeler). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
