Recombinant Human Histone H1.0 (H1F0)

Uniprot Id

P07305

Target Species

Human

Target Name

H1-0

Target Full Name

Histone H1.0

Target Function

Histones H1 are necessary for the condensation of nucleosome chains into higher-order structures. The histones H1.0 are found in cells that are in terminal stages of differentiation or that have low rates of cell division.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=The RNA edited version has been localized to nuclear speckles. During mitosis, it appears in the vicinity of condensed chromosomes.

Target Protein Families

Histone H1/H5 family

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

H1 histone family member 0; H1(0); H10; H10_HUMAN; h1f0; H1FV; Histone H1''; Histone H1(0); Histone H1.0; Histone H10; Histone H5; MGC5241; N-terminally processed

Target Background

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 histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a replication-independent histone that is a member of the histone H1 family.
