H4C7

Also known as H4/l, H4FL, histone cluster 1, H4g, histone cluster 1 H4 family member g, H4 clustered histone 7, HIST1H4G

Histone H4-like protein type G is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIST1H4G gene.

Gene data

H4C7

Name: H4 clustered histone 7
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: H4/l, H4FL, HIST1H4G

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 H4 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.
