Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable nucleosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleosome disassembly and transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and DNA replication. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of FACT complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; hindlimb phalanx; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with dysmorphic facies and thin corpus callosum. Orthologous to human SUPT16H (SPT16 homolog, facilitates chromatin remodeling subunit).
