CHD5 chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 26038)
Symbol: CHD5
Full name: chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 5
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CHD-5; PMNDS
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein family. Members of this family are characterized by a chromodomain, a helicase ATP-binding domain and an additional functional domain. This gene encodes a neuron-specific protein that may function in chromatin remodeling and gene transcription. This gene is a potential tumor suppressor gene that may play a role in the development of neuroblastoma. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
