BAF complex
Should article say that the human analog is known as the BAF complex (as BAF complex roles in neurodevelopment and disorders of brain function.) ? Protein Complex Mutated in about 20% of All Cancers suggests it is. - Rod57 (talk) 23:59, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

And is that the same BAF as in Barrier-to-autointegration factor ? - Rod57 (talk) 23:50, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Good catch. It does appear that the BAF complex is the human analog of yeast SWI/SNF.  However BAF stands for "BRG1- or hbrm-associated factors".
 * From:
 * "Several members of the human SWI/SNF family of ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes have previously been described, including BAF (SWI/SNF-A) and PBAF (SWI/SNF-B) (BAF stands for BRG1- or hbrm-associated factors, and PBAF is for polybromo-associated BAF)"
 * So, yes I do think it would be appropriate to mention this in the article. Boghog (talk) 05:19, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and added the above in the lead. Please feel free to edit further. Boghog (talk) 05:31, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
