Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within muscle cell differentiation and osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus and site of double-strand break. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human ASF1A (anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone). [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.
