Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including insulin receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in XY body and male germ cell nucleus. Part of SWI/SNF complex; nBAF complex; and npBAF complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human SMARCC1 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily c member 1).
