Summary: Predicted to enable chromo shadow domain binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA replication-dependent chromatin assembly and nucleosome assembly. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be part of CAF-1 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon cancer; high grade glioma; neuroblastoma; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human CHAF1A (chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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.
