ARID1A Proteins and Enzymes

ARID1A encodes a member of the SWI/SNF family, whose members have helicase and ATPase activities and are thought to regulate transcription of certain ARID1A genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin. It possesses at least two conserved domains that could be important for its function. First, it ...
