INO80 (gene)

INO80 is a gene that produces a protein involved in organizing and remodeling our DNA within the cell nucleus. This protein is part of a complex that helps modify the structure of chromatin—the combination of DNA and proteins—making specific parts of the genome more or less accessible. This process is crucial for regulating gene expression, DNA repair, and maintaining genome stability. Essentially, INO80 helps cells efficiently access the genetic information they need to function properly, especially during cell division and in response to DNA damage.
