Chd8 - chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8 Gene
Also Known as CHD-8
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding protein family, which is characterized by a SNF2-like domain and two chromatin organization modifier domains. The encoded protein also contains brahma and kismet domains, which is common to the subfamily of chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding proteins to which this protein belongs. In mammals, this gene has been shown to function in several processes including transcriptional regulation, epigenetic remodeling, promotion of cell proliferation, and regulation of RNA synthesis. Knockout of this gene in mice causes early embryonic lethality due to widespread Apoptosis. Heterozygous loss of function mutations in mice result in autism spectrum disorder-like behaviors that include increased anxiety, repetitive behavior, and altered social behavior.
