| Function |
Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly. Does not participate in replication-independent nucleosome deposition which is mediated by ASF1A and HIRA. Required for spermatogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11897662, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12842904, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15664198, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16151251}.
