HMGN2

Name: high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2
Type: protein-coding
Position: 26,471,495–26,487,537 (+)
Aliases: HMG17
Ensembl: ENSG00000198830
RefSeq RNA: NM_005517.4
RefSeq protein: NP_005508.1

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].
