GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HMGN2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HMG17
Description
High mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene binds nucleosomal DNA and is associated with transcriptionally active chromatin. Along with a similar protein, HMGN1, the encoded protein may help maintain an open chromatin configuration around transcribable genes. The protein has also been found to have antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
