Chd7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including face development; nervous system development; and regulation of growth hormone secretion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; embryonic morphogenesis; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CHARGE syndrome and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 5 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human CHD7 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7).

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 Chd7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
