Uniprot Id

Q8TD26

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CHD6

Target Full Name

Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 6

Target Function

DNA-dependent ATPase that plays a role in chromatin remodeling. Regulates transcription by disrupting nucleosomes in a largely non-sliding manner which strongly increases the accessibility of chromatin. Activates transcription of specific genes in response to oxidative stress through interaction with NFE2L2.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a transcriptional repressor of different viruses including influenza virus or papillomavirus. During influenza virus infection, the viral polymerase complex localizes CHD6 to inactive chromatin where it gets degraded in a proteasome independent-manner.

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration disrupting CHD6 has been found in a patient with mild to moderate mental retardation and minor facial anomalies. Translocation t(18;20)(q21.1;q11.2) with TCF4 producing a CHD6-TCF4 fusion transcript (PubMed:18627065).

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus, nucleoplasm.

Target Protein Families

SNF2/RAD54 helicase family

Target Tissue Specificity
