Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 50927 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone binding activity and histone chaperone activity. Involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle and blastocyst development. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; extraembryonic component; heart ventricle; lung; and metanephros. Orthologous to human NASP (nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display embryonic lethality before implantation. [provided by MGI curators] |
