This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is similar to the
product of the Drosophila male-specific lethal-3 gene. The
Drosophila protein plays a critical role in a dosage-compensation
pathway, which equalizes X-linked gene expression in males and
females. Thus, the human protein is thought to play a similar
function in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation,
and it has been found as part of a complex that is responsible for
histone H4 lysine-16 acetylation. This gene can undergo X
inactivation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript
variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes
