SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily B member 1 is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theSMARCB1gene.[5][6][7]
The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex that relieves repressivechromatin structures, allowing the transcriptional machinery to access its targets more effectively. The encodednuclear protein may also bind to and enhance the DNA joining activity ofHIV-1 integrase. This gene has been found to be atumor suppressor andmutations in it have been associated with malignantrhabdoid tumors. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[8]
SMARCB1 has been shown tointeract with:
