SMARCA5 SNF2 related chromatin remodeling ATPase 5

Gene ID: 8467, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ISWI; SNF2H; hISWI; hSNF2H; WCRF135

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins. 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 protein encoded by this gene is a component of the chromatin remodeling and spacing factor RSF, a facilitator of the transcription of class II genes by RNA polymerase II. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to the Drosophila ISWI chromatin remodeling protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
