Predicted to enable histone binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including CENP-A containing chromatin assembly; regulation of DNA binding activity; and regulation of protein-containing complex assembly. Located in chromosome, centromeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; extraembryonic component; and neural retina. Orthologous to human HJURP (Holliday junction recognition protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
