Chd6 - chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 6

This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain/helicase/DNA-binding domain family of chromatin remodeling enzymes. This protein has been found to be specifically involved in transcription initiation and elongation. Homozygous knockout mice exhibit impaired motor coordination. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 8. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
