ASF1B Antibodies

Target Information

Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Does not participate in replication-independent nucleosome deposition which is mediated by ASF1A and HIRA. Required for spermatogenesis. Belongs to the ASF1 family. Highly expressed in testis and at lower levels in colon, small intestine and thymus. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
