Synonyms (NCBI Gene)	H2A.Z-2H2AFVH2AV
Chromosome	7
Chromosome location	7p13
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 hi

Q71UI9

Protein name

Histone H2A.V (H2A.F/Z) (H2A.Z variant histone 2)

Protein function

Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a cent
