Smarcad1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and nucleosome array spacer activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA double-strand break processing; chromosome separation; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in heterochromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Used to study asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BASAN syndrome and adermatoglyphia. Orthologous to human SMARCAD1 (SNF2 related chromatin remodeling ATPase with DExD box 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Smarcad1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
