Predicted to enable ATP-dependent DNA/DNA annealing activity; ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling; neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within brain development and regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of CERF complex and NURF complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human SMARCA1 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
