HIST2H2AC

Histone H2A type 2-C is a <a href="/facts/Protein/Jxmagu3E">protein</a> that in humans is encoded by the HIST2H2AC <a href="/facts/Gene/e1swwPY6">gene</a>.
<a href="/facts/Histones/krb5VJfp">Histones</a> are basic <a href="/facts/Nuclear_proteins/D7sFRa3c">nuclear proteins</a> that are responsible for the <a href="/facts/Nucleosome/HX5DR9bn">nucleosome</a> structure of the chromosomal fiber in <a href="/facts/Eukaryotes/SkwyPLMA">eukaryotes</a>. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an <a href="/facts/Octamer/v7oDY8zu">octamer</a>, around which approximately 146 bp of <a href="/facts/DNA/nB89Iauz">DNA</a> is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of <a href="/facts/Chromatin/ha0TJheJ">chromatin</a> into higher order structures. This gene is <a href="/facts/Intronless/LS6YdBEK">intronless</a> and encodes a member of the histone H2A family.
