About BAZ2A

Enables histone binding activity. Contributes to RNA polymerase I core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA methylation-dependent constitutive heterochromatin formation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase I; and rDNA heterochromatin formation. Predicted to act upstream of or within heterochromatin formation. Located in cytosol and nuclear speck. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
