ASF1A anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone

Gene ID: 25842, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CIA; CGI-98; HSPC146

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins and is similar to the anti-silencing function-1 gene in yeast. The protein is a key component of a histone donor complex that functions in nucleosome assembly. It interacts with histones H3 and H4, and functions together with a chromatin assembly factor during DNA replication and repair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
