Disease
[ATX7_HUMAN] Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[ATX7_HUMAN] Acts as component of the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex. Mediates the interaction of STAGA complex with the CRX and is involved in CRX-dependent gene activation. Necessary for microtubule cytoskeleton stabilization.[1]
