Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and nucleosome array spacer activity. Involved in gonad development. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. Predicted to be part of SWI/SNF complex. Expressed in several structures, including head;
hyp7 syncytium; tail; ventral cord neurons; and vulval cell. Used to study alcohol use disorder and cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Coffin-Siris syndrome 4; Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome; and carcinoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SMARCA2 (SWI/SNF related BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit ATPase 2) and SMARCA4 (SWI/SNF related BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit ATPase 4).
