Histone H2B type 1-H, Histone H2B.j, H2B/j, HIST1H2BH, H2BFJ
Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability.
