Anti-H2A clustered histone 6 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the H2AC6 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 130 amino acid residues and a mass of 14.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and chromosomes. A member of the Histone H2A protein family, it is an important component of nucleosome. Post-translational modifications have been described, including ubiquitination, acetylation and phosphorylation. Other names for this target antigen include H2AFL, HIST1H2AC, dJ221C16.4, histone H2A type 1-C, H2A histone family, member L, and H2A/l. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse and rat species.
