Enables ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity. Contributes to nucleosome binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; embryo implantation; and embryonic morphogenesis. Part of SWI/SNF complex; nBAF complex; and npBAF complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Coffin-Siris syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome 2; breast cancer; carcinoma (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and neuroblastoma.
