Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable histone binding activity and histone reader activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; protein localization to chromatin; and replication fork processing. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and chromatin organization. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be part of DNA replication factor A complex; FACT complex; and MCM complex. Predicted to be active in nuclear replication fork and site of double-strand break. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; cerebellum; foregut; sensory organ; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Sponastrime type. Orthologous to human TONSL (tonsoku like, DNA repair protein).
