Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 25842
Gene name Anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone
Gene symbol ASF1A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CGI-98CIAHSPC146
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6q22.31
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
