H4 CLUSTERED HISTONE 8; H4C8


Alternative titles; symbols

HISTONE GENE CLUSTER 1, H4 HISTONE FAMILY, MEMBER H; HIST1H4H
HISTONE GENE CLUSTER 1, H4H
HIST1 CLUSTER, H4H
H4 HISTONE FAMILY, MEMBER H; H4FH
H4/H


HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: H4C8

Cytogenetic location: 6p22.2     Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:26,285,126-26,285,534 (from NCBI)


▼ TEXT

For background information on histones, histone gene clusters, and the H4 histone family, see HIST1H4A (602822).

▼ Cloning and Expression

By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) identified the mouse and human HIST1H4H genes. All mouse and human H4 genes, including HIST1H4H, encode the same protein.


▼ Mapping

By analysis of a YAC contig from chromosome 6p21.3, Albig et al. (1997) characterized a cluster of 35 histone genes, including H4/h.

By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) determined that the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21, which they called histone gene cluster-1 (HIST1), contains 55 histone genes, including HIST1H4H.


▼ Gene Function

See HIST1H4A (602822) for functional information on H4 histones.
