H11 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

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. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6.
