Gene: NAP1L4
Alternate names for this Gene: NAP1L4b|NAP2|NAP2L|hNAP2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family which can interact with both core and linker histones. It can shuttle between the cytoplasm and nucleus, suggesting a role as a histone chaperone. This gene is one of several located near the imprinted gene domain of 11p15.5, an important tumor-suppressor gene region. Alterations in this region have been associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and lung, ovarian, and breast cancer.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11p15.4
Description of this Gene: nucleosome assembly protein 1 like 4
Type of Gene: protein-coding
