CHD1

Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CHD1 gene.[1][2][3]

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.[3]

Interactions

Interactions

CHD1 has been shown to interact with Nuclear receptor co-repressor 1.[4]
