Summary
Enables TBP-class protein binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including heart development; negative regulation of striated muscle cell apoptotic process; and positive regulation of skeletal muscle tissue growth. Acts upstream of or within myoblast migration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; genitourinary system; gut; liver; and spleen. Orthologous to human NACA (nascent polypeptide associated complex subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Ubiquitous expression in heart adult (RPKM 34.3), CNS E11.5 (RPKM 24.7) and 28 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.
