This gene encodes a nuclear protein that interacts with hepatitis B virus X protein (HBX) and facilitates transcription of hepatitis B virus genes by the HBX transcription activator, suggesting a role for this interaction in the virus life cycle. This protein also interacts with SNF2H protein to form the RSF chromatin-remodeling complex, where the SNF2H subunit functions as the nucleosome-dependent ATPase, and this protein as the histone chaperone.

Remodeling and spacing factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RSF1 gene.

HBXAP is involved in transcription repression, transcription coactivation when associated with hepatitis B virus X protein (HBX), and chromatin remodeling and spacing when associated with SNF2H (MIM 603375).[supplied by OMIM]
