HMGN2
Description
The HMGN2 (high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
HMGN2 is a gene that encodes the non-histone chromosomal protein HMG-17.
HMGN2 binds to the inner side of nucleosomal DNA, modifying the interaction between DNA and the histone octamer. This suggests a role in maintaining the unique chromatin structure of transcribable genes.
HMGN2 is also known as HMG17.
