CHD5 ELISA Kits

Changes in gene expression are associated with changes in chromatin structure, which can result from modification of histones by acetylation and methylation. In addition, SWI/SNF proteins can effect chromatin structure and gene expression by causing ATP-dependent disruption of the nucleosome and by enhancing binding of transcription factors. CHD5 belongs to a group of SWI/SNF proteins called CHD proteins, which contain a SWI/SNF-like helicase/ATPase domain, as well as a DNA-binding domain and a chromodomain that directly modifies chromatin structure (Thompson et al., 2003 (PubMed 12592387)).(supplied by OMIM)
