Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity; histone acetyltransferase regulator activity; and histone binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of neuron differentiation and regulation of stem cell division. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in nervous system. Orthologous to human NAP1L2 (nucleosome assembly protein 1 like 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Results identified several proteins interacting with NAP1L2, including the ubiquitously expressed members of the nucleosome assembly protein family, NAP1L1 and NAP1L4.
Title: Interaction between nucleosome assembly protein 1-like family members.
Data show that Nap1l2 associates with chromatin and interacts with histones H3 and H4, and loss of Nap1l2 results in decreased histone acetylation activity, leading to transcriptional changes in differentiating neurons.
Title: Nap1l2 promotes histone acetylation activity during neuronal differentiation.

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.
