About MACROH2A1

Cytogenetic location: 5q31.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:135,334,381-135,399,887 (from NCBI)

This gene has 22 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 27 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 29.8), esophagus (RPKM 11.4) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

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 encodes a replication-independent histone that is a member of the histone H2A family. It replaces conventional H2A histones in a subset of nucleosomes where it represses transcription and participates in stable X chromosome inactivation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
