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. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; forelimb bud; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ASF1A (anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone). [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.
