ISWI complex

The ISWI complex is a group of proteins that play a crucial role in managing DNA within cells. Essentially, it helps organize and package DNA to ensure that genes can be accessed and turned on or off as needed. This organization is vital for proper cell function, enabling processes like cell division, development, and response to environmental changes. The ISWI complex operates by remodeling the structure of chromatin, which is the material that makes up chromosomes, influencing how genetic information is used by the cell.
