Nomenclature of Snf2-related proteins using subfamily and grouping classifications from [26] based on alignments of the helicase-like region. Subfamilies are named from the first reported archetype in any organism. S. cerevisiae nomenclature is from Saccharomyces Genome Database and human nomenclature is from ENSEMBL using official Human Genome Naming Commission symbols. Some members are known by a SMARCA acronym standing for for “SWI/SNF-related, Matrix-associated, Actin-dependent Regulator Chromatin group A”. Where common alternatives are used alongside SMARCA nomenclature, the official HGNC name is shown first.
