A portion of amino acids 1800-2000 from human ARID1A protein was used as the immunogen for the ARID1A antibody.
The SWI-SNF complex is involved in the activation of transcription via the remodeling of nucleosome structure in an ATP-dependent manner. Brm (also designated SNF2a) and Brg-1 (also designated SNF2b) are the ATPase subunits of the mammalian SWI-SNF complex. Brm, Brg-1, Ini1 (integrase interactor 1, also designated SNF5), BAF155 (also designated SRG3) and BAF170 are thought to comprise the functional core of the SWI-SNF complex. Addition of Ini1, BAF155 and BAF170 to Brg-1 appears to increase remodeling activity. Other complex subunits, such as BAF250a (p270 or ARID1A) and BAF250b (ARID1B), are thought to play regulatory roles.
