Summary
Enables histone binding activity and histone chaperone activity. Involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle and blastocyst development. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; extraembryonic component; heart ventricle; lung; and metanephros. Orthologous to human NASP (nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression
Biased expression in CNS E11.5 (RPKM 97.7), testis adult (RPKM 45.2) and 8 other tissues See more

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.
