Entrez gene summary

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H2A family. Transcripts from this gene contain a palindromic termination element. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Most normal tissues showed moderate nuclear staining. Lung, stomach, exocrine pancreas, trophoblastic cells, cells in seminiferus ducts, hematopoietic cells and cells in CNS exhibited strong positivity. Leydig cells, cells in white pulp of spleen and most cells in prostate were weakly stained or negative.
