Product details:
DNA helicases (Hel) play a role in a number of processes involving DNA strand separation, including replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. Jarvis et al. (1996) identified a mouse gene encoding a novel putative helicase. They designated the gene LSH, for lymphoid-specific Hel, because Northern blot analysis revealed that it was expressed specifically in mouse early thymocytes. Geiman et al. (1998) determined that the mouse LSH, or HELLS (helicase lymphoid-specific), gene contains at least 18 exons and spans more than 26.6 kb. Using Northern blot analysis, these authors found that human HELLS is expressed in testis and thymus, two tissues that are highly active in DNA recombination. Geiman and Muegge (2000) demonstrated that LSH is not obligatory for normal lymphoid development but is essential for normal proliferation of peripheral T lymphocytes.

SMARCA6 also known as SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 6 is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 170 kDa. It functions as an ATPase and is an important component of chromatin remodeling complexes. SMARCA6 plays a role in modifying chromatin structure through ATP hydrolysis which influences gene expression. This protein is expressed in various tissues and its expression can be detected across different cell types including those involved in blood functions.
Biological function summary
SMARCA6 influences gene expression by modifying the chromatin structure which allows transcription factors to access DNA. It is a part of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex critical for regulating a wide range of genes involved in development and cell cycle. Through the remodeling of chromatin SMARCA6 controls access to specific genomic regions and modulates transcriptional activation or repression therefore influencing cellular differentiation and proliferation.
Pathways
SMARCA6 participates in pathways involved in chromatin organization and gene regulation. It engages in the Wnt signaling pathway interacting with proteins such as BAF155 and BAF170 to modulate transcriptional outcomes. SMARCA6's activity in these pathways is essential for cellular processes impacting how cells respond to growth signals and maintain homeostasis.
Aberrations in SMARCA6 function or expression can lead to complications such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. It has been linked to leukemia where chromatin remodeling anomalies disrupt normal gene expression patterns. In such contexts SMARCA6 interacts with proteins like BAF57 affecting the regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Altered SMARCA6 activity in these diseases highlights its role in maintaining genomic stability and proper cell function.
