    basic FUNCTION
  • catalytic component of the SWI/SNF-related chromatin-remodeling complex, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin structure
  • during mitosis, phosphorylated and excluded from the condensed chromosomes
  • able to compensate for BRC1 (SMARCA4) loss as pertains to RB sensitivity
  • playing a role in the differentiation of retinal progenitors into retinal ganglion cells
  • may promote retinal ganglion cells differentiation by facilitating transcriptional activation and function of POU4F2
  • required for villin expression, a definitive marker of intestinal metaplasia and differentiation and should play significant roles in determining the histologic features of gastric malignancy
  • central ATPase of the SWI/SNF complex, and a critical factor for the functional activity of nuclear receptor complexes
  • antagonistic roles for SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 SWI/SNF complexes in differentiation
  • with CDX2, cooperatively regulate villin expression in gastrointestinal cells
  • promote expression of distinct and overlapping MITF target genes and that at least one ATPase is required for melanoma tumorigenicity
  • SMARCA2/SMARCA4A switch is an indicator of the responsiveness of a gene to heat-shock or IFNG stimulation and may represent an "on-off switch" of gene expression
  • SMARCA2 and SMARCA4, play critical roles in regulating development of smooth muscle and SMARCA4 has specific functions within vascular and gastrointestinal smooth muscle that cannot be performed by SMARCA2
  • expression of SMARCA2 and SMARCC2 during reprogramming was regulated by JAK/STAT3 activity

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin
  • complexing with MECP2
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • actin
  • glucocorticoid receptor
  • interacting with SLC6A2 and MECP2 (increased SLC6A2 gene expression in response to membrane depolarization was strongly correlated with the dissociation of MECP2 and SMARCA2 complex on the unmethylated gene)
  • associated with MECP2 and functionaly linked to repression
  • interacting with REST (REST silencing induces deregulation of SMARCA2) and risk of schizophrenia
  • cell & other
