SMARCC2 SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily c member 2

Gene ID: 6601, updated on 7-Jul-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CSS8; Rsc8; BAF170; CRACC2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins, whose members display helicase and ATPase activities and which are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI and contains a predicted leucine zipper motif typical of many transcription factors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
