Chd1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity; and methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleosome organization and positive regulation by host of viral transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromatin remodeling. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nuclear chromosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in castration-resistant prostate carcinoma and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human CHD1 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 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 Chd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
