Recombinant Human Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 2 (CHD2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O14647

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CHD2

Target Full Name

Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 2

Target Function

DNA-binding helicase that specifically binds to the promoter of target genes, leading to chromatin remodeling, possibly by promoting deposition of histone H3.3. Involved in myogenesis via interaction with MYOD1: binds to myogenic gene regulatory sequences and mediates incorporation of histone H3.3 prior to the onset of myogenic gene expression, promoting their expression.

Target Involvement

Epileptic encephalopathy, childhood-onset (EEOC)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

SNF2/RAD54 helicase family

Target Synonyms

Target Background

The CHD family of proteins is characterized by the presence of chromo (chromatin organization modifier) domains and SNF2-related helicase/ATPase domains. CHD genes alter gene expression possibly by modification of chromatin structure thus altering access of the transcriptional apparatus to its chromosomal DNA template. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
