CELE_D2096.8, nsbp-1, D2096.8

D2096.8 encodes a protein related in sequence to the conserved NAP (Nucleosome Assembly Protein) family of proteins involved in chromatin remodeling; loss of D2096.8 activity in wild-type and various mutant backgrounds suggests that, in C. elegans, the product of D2096.8 is required for proper transcriptional regulation that affects a number of biological processes including embryonic and larval development, body morphology, locomotion, and vulval formation; the protein product of D2096.8 is present at significantly lower levels in daf-2 mutant vs. wild-type adult animals during a temperature shift from 15 to 25 degrees C.
