HMGN2 high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: HMGN2provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:4986
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000198830 MIM:163910; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4986
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: HMG17
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]

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections which is mainly caused by Escherichia coli (UPEC). HMGN2 expression is elevated in bladder epithelial cell line 5637 (BEC 5637).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
