HIST1H2BK: Proteins and Enzymes

HIST1H2BK is 126 amino acids long, weighs approximately 14 kDa, and the gene codes for a part of a group of basic nuclear proteins called histones, which are responsible for nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Current studies are being done on several diseases and disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus erythematosus, and immunodeficiency. HIST1H2BK has also been shown to have interactions with HIST1H4A, HIST1H4B, HIST1H4C, HIST1H4D, and HIST1H4E in pathways such as the telomere maintenance, nucleosome assembly, cell cycle, and systemic lupus erythematosus pathways.
