Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in hemidesmosome assembly. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Expressed in several structures, including germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 20; carcinoma (multiple); and inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease of bone with or without frontotemporal dementia 2. Is an ortholog of human HNRNPA1 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1) and HNRNPA3 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A3).
Predicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
The glycine-N-acyltransferase protein conjugates glycine with acyl-CoA substrates in the mitochondria. The protein is thought to be important in the detoxification of endogenous and xenobiotic acyl-CoA's. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
