Mouse Gene Set: GOMF_HISTONE_BINDING

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOMF_HISTONE_BINDING

Standard name GOMF_HISTONE_BINDING
Systematic name MM13942
Brief description Binding to a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of eukaryotic or archaeal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in gene regulation and DNA replication. They may be chemically modified (methylated, acetlyated and others) to regulate gene transcription. [GOC:jl, PMID:16209651, PMID:30212449, PMID:9305837]
