Smarcb1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including Tat protein binding activity; p53 binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase I core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromatin remodeling; positive regulation by host of viral transcription; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst hatching; hepatocyte differentiation; and single stranded viral RNA replication via double stranded DNA intermediate. Located in chromatin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome 3; meningioma; rhabdoid cancer; rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome 1; and schwannomatosis (multiple). Orthologous to human SMARCB1 (SWI/SNF related BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit B1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
