Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; RNA polymerase II core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and nucleosomal DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; cellular response to insulin stimulus; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; heart; metanephros; and ovary. Orthologous to human H2AZ1 (H2A.Z variant histone 1).
