This gene encodes a DNA helicase protein involved in DNA repair. The protein converts ATP to add poly(ADP-ribose) as it regulates chromatin relaxation following DNA damage. Overexpression of this gene has been linked to several types of cancers. CHD1L (Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 1 Like) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CHD1L include Postcholecystectomy Syndrome and Fibrosarcoma Of Bone. Among its related pathways are Nucleotide excision repair and Transcription-Coupled Nucleotide Excision Repair (TC-NER). GO annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and hydrolase activity.
