Summary Histones are basic nuclear proteins responsible for nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in

Protein name Histone H1t (Testicular H1 histone)
Protein function Testis-specific histone H1 that forms less compacted chromatin compared to other H1 histone subtypes (PubMed:26757249). Formation of more relaxed chromatin may be required to promote chromatin architecture required for proper chromosome regulati
