SNF6

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** A component of the SWI/SNF global transcription activator complex, SNF6 assists gene-specific activators through nucleosome/chromatin remodeling. The SWI/SNF complex is required for induced expression of many genes and alters chromatin structure to facilitate binding of gene-specific dedicated transcription factors. SNF6 is a non-specific RNA polymerase II transcription factor. (from SWISS-PROT P18888, SGD S0001017, and NCI)
