Summary: Enables histone binding activity and histone chaperone activity. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst hatching and nucleosome assembly. Located in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranium; ear; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human ASF1B (anti-silencing function 1B histone chaperone).

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.
