Smarca1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity. Predicted to be involved in heterochromatin formation; neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within brain development and regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of CERF complex and NURF complex. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Orthologous to human SMARCA1 (SNF2 related chromatin remodeling ATPase 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 rat Smarca1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
