H1f5 - H1.5 linker histone, cluster member Gene

Also Known as H1B; H1-5; H1.5; H1s-3; Hist1h1b

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 56702

Summary

Histones are basic nuclear proteins responsible for 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 replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H1 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
