Gene information for H3F3B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3021
Official gene symbolH3F3B
Full nameH3 histone, family 3B (H3.3B)
Aliases,H3.3B,H3F3A,
Gene summaryHistones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the 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 repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene contains introns and its mRNA is poyadenylated, unlike most histone genes. The protein encoded is a member of the histone H3 family. [provided by RefSeq]
