Summary: Enables histone binding activity. Acts upstream of or within histone exchange. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Used to study polycystic kidney disease and pulmonary emphysema. Orthologous to human PTMA (prothymosin alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
