NCIt definition : Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 4 (1912 aa, 218 kDa) is encoded by the
human CHD4 gene. This protein is involved in chromatin remodeling.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: The 218 kDa beta isoform of the MI-2 antigen encoded by CHD4 gene, which is
a helicase in the nucleosome remodeling-deacetylase complex involved in transcription
regulation. It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated with
the systemic autoimmune myopathy dermatomyositis.;
NCIt note : Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 4 is part of the nucleosome remodeling and
histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex and is an nuclear autoantigen in dermatomyositis.;
