  Domain Name: H4
Histone H4, one of the four histones, along with H2A, H2B and H3, which forms the eukaryotic nucleosome core; along with H3, it plays a central role in nucleosome formation; histones bind to DNA and wrap the genetic material into "beads on a string" in which DNA (the string) is wrapped around small blobs of histones (the beads) at regular intervals; play a role in the inheritance of specialized chromosome structures and the control of gene activity; defects in the establishment of proper chromosome structure by histones may activate or silence genes aberrantly and thus lead to disease; the sequence of histone H4 has remained almost invariant in more than 2 billion years of evolution

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
