ACL6B Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of actin-related proteins (ARPs) which share significant amino acid sequence identity to conventional actins. Both actins and ARPs have an actin fold| which is an ATP-binding cleft| as a common feature. The ARPs are involved in diverse cellular processes| including vesicular transport| spindle orientation| nuclear migration and chromatin remodeling. This gene encodes a subunit of the BAF (BRG1/brm-associated factor) complex in mammals| which is functionally related to SWI/SNF complex in S. cerevisiae and Drosophila; the latter is thought to facilitate transcriptional activation of specific genes by antagonizing chromatin-mediated transcriptional repression. This subunit may be involved in the regulation of genes by structural modulation of their chromatin| specifically in the brain. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
