Also known as H2A/S, H2AFALii, H2AH, dJ86C11.1, histone cluster 1, H2ah, histone cluster 1 H2A family member h, HIST1H2AH, H2A clustered histone 12

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

Gene data

H2AC12

Name: H2A clustered histone 12
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: H2A/S, H2AFALii, H2AH, HIST1H2AH, dJ86C11.1

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 replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H2A family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the histone microcluster on chromosome 6p21.33.
