    Summary
    Contributes to histone binding activity. Involved in DNA replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Located in chromosome, centromeric region and nucleus. Part of CAF-1 complex. Colocalizes with chromatin. 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, Apr 2022]

    • Largest subunit (p90) of the Chromatin Assembly Complex (CAF-1); chromatin assembly by CAF-1 is important for multiple processes including histone H3/H4 tetramerization, silencing at telomeres, mating type loci and rDNA, maintenance of kinetochore structure, deactivation of DNA damage checkpoint after DNA repair, chromatin dynamics during transcription, and repression of divergent noncoding transcription
