HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: H2BC26
Cytogenetic location: 1q42.13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:228,458,103-228,458,558 (from NCBI)
For background information on histones, histone gene clusters, and the H2B histone family, see HIST1H2BA (609904).
By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) identified the mouse and human HIST3H2BB genes.
By genomic sequence analysis, Marzluff et al. (2002) determined that the histone gene cluster on chromosome 1q42, which they called histone gene cluster-3 (HIST3), contains 3 histone genes, including HIST3H2BB. The HIST3 cluster also contains an H2B pseudogene, HIST3H2BA.
See HIST1H2BA (609904) for functional information on H2B histones.
