Gene information for CHD8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57680
Official gene symbolCHD8
Full namechromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8
Aliases,DKFZp686N17164,HELSNF1,KIAA1564,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a DNA helicase that functions as a transcription repressor by remodeling chromatin structure. It binds beta-catenin and negatively regulates Wnt signaling pathway, which plays a pivotal role in vertebrate early development and morphogenesis. Mice lacking this gene exhibit early embryonic death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
