Also known as CGI-98, CIA, HSPC146, anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone

Histone chaperone ASF1A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ASF1A gene.

Gene data

ASF1A

Name: anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CGI-98, CIA, HSPC146

This gene encodes a member of the H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins and is similar to the anti-silencing function-1 gene in yeast. The protein is a key component of a histone donor complex that functions in nucleosome assembly. It interacts with histones H3 and H4, and functions together with a chromatin assembly factor during DNA replication and repair. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
