CHD1

CHD1 (chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 1) is a gene that produces a protein involved in remodeling the structure of DNA within our cells. This process helps regulate how genes are turned on or off, influencing cell function and development. Proper functioning of CHD1 is important for maintaining healthy cell growth, and mutations or problems with this gene can be linked to certain cancers, such as prostate cancer. In essence, CHD1 plays a critical role in controlling the accessibility of DNA for gene expression and DNA repair.
