Gene: H3C2

Alternate names for this Gene: H3/l|H3C1|H3C10|H3C11|H3C12|H3C3|H3C4|H3C6|H3C7|H3C8|H3FL|HIST1H3B

Gene Summary: Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. This structure consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a nucleosome, an octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails; instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p22.2

Description of this Gene: H3 clustered histone 2
