Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within histone ubiquitination and positive regulation of histone methylation. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of HULC complex and ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland.
