Description
Product Characteristics:
Histone H1 protein binds to linker DNA between nucleosomes forming the macromolecular structure known as the chromatin fiber. Histones H1 are necessary for the condensation of nucleosome chains into higher-order structured fibers. Acts also as a regulator of individual gene transcription through chromatin remodeling, nucleosome spacing and DNA methylation (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: H1E, H1.4, H1F4, H1s-4, dJ221C16.5, Histone H1.4, Histone H1b, Histone H1s-4, HIST1H1E
Target Information: Histones H1 are necessary for the condensation of nucleosome chains into higher order structures. The H1F0 histones are found in cells that are in terminal stages of differentiation or that have low rates of cell division (By similarity)
