    Summary
    Enables histone binding activity and histone chaperone activity. Involved in chromatin organization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Used to study polycystic kidney disease and pulmonary emphysema. Orthologous to human PTMA (prothymosin alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    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.
