H1f2 - H1.2 linker histone, cluster member

Predicted to enable chromatin DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within histone lysine methylation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and nucleosome positioning. Predicted to be located in euchromatin; nucleus; and transcriptionally active chromatin. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to human H1-2 (H1.2 linker histone, cluster member). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
