CHD6 (Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 6) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CHD6 include Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome and Developmental Coordination Disorder. CHD6 encodes a member of the SNF2/RAD54 helicase protein family. The encoded protein contains two chromodomains, a helicase domain, and an ATPase domain. Several multi-subunit protein complexes remodel chromatin to allow patterns of cell type-specific gene expression, and the encoded protein is thought to be a core member of one or more of these chromatin remodeling complexes. The encoded protein may function as a transcriptional repressor and is involved in the cellular repression of influenza virus replication.
