Description
Histone H2A.X belongs to the histone H2A family, which is synthesized in G1 and S phase. It is involved in nucleosomal organization of chromatin together with other histone proteins, and is specially important for recombination between immunoglobulin switch regions. H2A.X becomes phosphorylated on serine 139 (to form gamma-H2AFX or H2AX139ph) in response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) generated by exogenous genotoxic agents and by stalled replication forks, which promotes DNA repair and maintains genomic stability
