NCIt definition : Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 3 (2000 aa, 227 kDa) is encoded by the
human CHD3 gene. This protein is involved in chromatin remodeling, spindle organization
during mitosis and transcriptional repression.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: The 220 kDa alpha isoform of the MI-2 antigen encoded by CHD3 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 3 is part of the nucleosome remodeling and
histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex and is an nuclear autoantigen in dermatomyositis.;
