NCIt definition : Nuclear SWI2/SNF2 (SNF2/RAD54 Helicase Family) is a 1703-aa, 194-kD general RNA polymerase
II transcription regulator component of the SWI/SNF nucleosome/chromatin remodeling
complex involved in global transcriptional activation of induced gene expression and
coordinate regulation of phospholipid synthesis. This complex alters chromatin structure
to facilitate binding of gene-specific transcription factors. Containing a bromodomain
domain and three AT Hook DNA-binding repeats, SWI2/SNF2 exhibits strong similarity
to Drosophila brahma. (from Swiss-Prot, and NCI);
