Chd6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain/helicase/DNA-binding domain family of chromatin remodeling enzymes. This protein has been found to be specifically involved in transcription initiation and elongation. Homozygous knockout mice exhibit impaired motor coordination. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 8. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

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 Chd6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
