Histone H2B type 1B Products

The HIST1H2BB gene encodes a 126 amino acid long, 13 kDA histone H2B type 1-B that is critical in the nucleosome by functioning in transcription regulation, DNA replication and repair, as well as chromosomal stability. It participates in histone modification, apoptosis and authophagy, protein stability, RSF complex binding to the centromer, and signal transduction Activin A signaling regulation. HIST1H2BB is known to interact with genes EP300, ERCC6, DYRK1A, NFKB2, and TNFRSF1A. It has been researched regarding its role to lupus, immunodeficiency, cockayne syndrome, and hemochromatosis.
