The SWI\/SNF chromatin remodeling complex consists of more than 10 subunits and contains a single molecule of either BRM or BRG1 as the ATPase catalytic subunit. The activity of the ATPase subunit disrupts histone-DNA contacts and changes the accessibility of crucial regulatory elements to the chromatin. The additional core and accessory subunits play a scaffolding role to maintain stability and provide surfaces for interaction with various transcription factors and chromatin (2-5). The interactions between SWI\/SNF subunits and transcription factors, such as nuclear receptors, p53, Rb, BRCA1, and MyoD, facilitate recruitment of the complex to target genes for regulation of gene activation, cell growth, cell cycle, and differentiation processes (1,6-9). SMARCC2\/BAF170 is one of the core subunits of the SWI\/SNF complex, which is necessary for efficient nucleosome remodeling by Brg1 (10). While SMARCC2\/BAF170 has been shown to be part of the SWI\/SNF complex in non-pluripotent cells, it is absent in pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells. Expression of SMARCC2\/BAF170 has been shown to be up-regulated in neurons\/neuronal progenitors upon differentiation of mouse ES cells with retinoic acid, and exogenous expression of SMARCC2\/BAF170 leads to loss of stem cell pluripotency and self renewal (11).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nBAF170; BRG1-associated factor 170; chromatin remodeling complex BAF170 subunit; CRACC2; CSS8; DKFZp313D0632; mammalian chromatin remodeling complex BRG1-associated factor 170; Rsc8; SMARCC2; SMRC2; SWI\/SNF complex 170 kDa subunit; SWI\/SNF complex subunit SMARCC2; SWI\/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily c member 2; SWI\/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily c, member 2; SWI\/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily C member 2; SWI3-like protein\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 162, 170\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799980527785,"sku":"8829S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-8829s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
