Enables histone chaperone activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleosome assembly; positive regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation; and positive regulation of neurogenesis. Located in membrane. Implicated in pancreatic cancer. Biomarker of appendiceal neoplasm and hepatoblastoma.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a member of the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family. This protein participates in DNA replication and may play a role in modulating chromatin formation and contribute to the regulation of cell proliferation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms; however, not all have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
