HLTF helicase like transcription factor

Gene ID: 6596, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ZBU1; HLTF1; RNF80; HIP116; SNF2L3; HIP116A; SMARCA3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the SWI/SNF family. Members of this family have helicase and ATPase activities and are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein contains a RING finger DNA binding motif. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. However, use of an alternative translation start site produces an isoform that is truncated at the N-terminus compared to the full-length protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
