Anti-SMARCA4 (Transcription Activator BRG1, ATP-dependent Helicase SMARCA4, BRG1-associated Factor 1

Also known as Protein BRG1 and SNF2-beta, among other aliases, SMARCA4 a transcriptional activator belonging to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family, and acts as a component of the SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes family. BRG1 contains 4 domains of interest, a bromo domain, a helicase ATP-binding domain, a helicase C-terminal domain, and a HAS domain. It is a component of several different complexes with distinctive roles such as the CREST-BRG1 complex which regulates the activation of promoters in a calcium-dependent manner, releasing repressor complexes and recruiting activator complexes. It is also a part of the nBAF and npBAF complexes which are involved in the chromatin remodeling of mononucleosomes and nucleosomal arrays. As a component of the SWI/SNF complex, SMARCA4 has a role in tumor suppression and has been shown to regulate cell cycle and differentiation when present in neoplasma.
