The function of ENSG00000124177 (CHD6, chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 6) is as follows. ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factor (PubMed:17027977, PubMed:28533432). Regulates transcription by disrupting nucleosomes in a largely non-sliding manner which strongly increases the accessibility of chromatin; nucleosome disruption requires ATP (PubMed:28533432). Activates transcription of specific genes in response to oxidative stress through interaction with NFE2L2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17027977, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28533432}. (Microbial infection) Acts as a transcriptional repressor of different viruses including influenza virus or papillomavirus. During influenza virus infection, the viral polymerase complex localizes CHD6 to inactive chromatin where it gets degraded in a proteasome independent-manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20631145, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21899694, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23408615}.
