About H2ax

Summary

Predicted to enable damaged DNA binding activity; Enzyme binding activity; and histone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to gamma radiation; cellular senescence; and cerebral cortex development. Located in nucleus. Used to study hypertension; status epilepticus; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of liver benign neoplasm. Orthologous to human H2AX (H2A.X variant histone).
