Description
Predicted to enable several functions, including chromatin binding activity; molecular adaptor activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in epigenetic maintenance of chromatin in transcription-competent conformation; nucleosome disassembly; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromatin organization and nervous system development. Part of SWI/SNF complex; nBAF complex; and npBAF complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome. Orthologous to human SMARCD1 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily d, member 1).
