Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; histone H4K16 acetyltransferase activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of MSL complex and NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; embryo; limb; and limb mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Basilicata-Akhtar syndrome. Orthologous to human MSL3 (MSL complex subunit 3).
