HIST1H2AH

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Histone H2A type 1-H is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIST1H2AH gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts H2AC12, Available structures ...

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H2A family. Transcripts from this gene lack tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the histone microcluster on chromosome 6p21.33.[6]
