Summary: Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin DNA binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of chromatin. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of protein localization to chromatin; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of keratinocyte differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within sex-chromosome dosage compensation. Located in chromatin. Orthologous to human MACROH2A2 (macroH2A.2 histone).

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.
