ASF1A anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 25842)

Symbol: ASF1A

Full name: anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CGI-98; CIA; HSPC146

Summary: 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]
