SMARCA4 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 4) is the central catalytic ATPase subunit of numerous chromatin-remodeling complexes, including SWI/SNF. These complexes are able to use energy from ATP hydrolysis to physically disrupt chromatin architecture of target promoters and facilitate the binding of transcription factors to nucleosomal DNA. SMARCA4 is a co-regulator of transcription and has been implicated in the activation and repression of gene expression through the modulation of chromatin in various tissues and physiological conditions. This protein plays a major role in many cellular processes such as DNA replication, repair and recombination. Mammalian SMARCA4 is usually associated with approximately 10-12 BAF subunits or other proteins involved in regulation of gene expression. SMARCA4 is part of the stem cell-specific BAF complex, esBAF, and is involved in regulating stem cell pluripotency.
