Histones

Histones are the proteins that provide structural support for a chromosome. Eukaryotic cells use histone proteins to store DNA in the form of chromatin. Chromatin consists of tightly packed nucleosomes, where each nucleosome particle is built of an octamer with pairs of the four core histones H3, H4, H2A, and H2B. In addition, the linker histone H1 links the nucleosomes together and plays a role in modifying chromatin density and folding. This white paper explains the role of histones and lists our PrecisA Monoclonal antibodies targeting histones validated for IHC, WB, and ICC-IF.
