Primary Identifier | MGI:95893 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 14958 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables double-stranded DNA binding activity and minor groove of adenine-thymine-rich DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome condensation; heterochromatin formation; and negative regulation of DNA recombination. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; endocrine gland; female reproductive system; and gut. Orthologous to human H1-0 (H1.0 linker histone). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and overtly normal with no apparent anatomic or histologic abnormalities or defects in cell division patterns.
