Also known as: TIN1; ARTD5; PARPL; TINF1; TNKS1; pART5; PARP5A; PARP-5a
Summary: Enables histone binding activity; pentosyltransferase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; post-translational protein modification; and regulation of chromosome organization. Acts upstream of or within peptidyl-serine phosphorylation and peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including chromosome, telomeric region; mitotic spindle pole; and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 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.
