SNF2H

SNF2H is a protein that helps organize and remodel DNA within our cells. It acts as an energy-driven machine, using ATP (a type of energy molecule) to slide, reposition, or restructure the tight packaging of DNA around proteins called histones. This process is crucial for controlling gene activity, DNA repair, and replication. By making certain regions of DNA more or less accessible, SNF2H plays a vital role in maintaining healthy cell functions and preventing diseases like cancer. It’s an essential component of the cellular machinery that manages how our genetic information is used.
