gene: baf-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chromosome segregation; embryo development; and response to X-ray. Located in condensed chromosome, centromeric region; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Used to study muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Nestor-Guillermo progeria syndrome and hepatocellular carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human BANF1 (BAF nuclear assembly factor 1).
