Histone H4 (P62804)

Uniprot ID P62804
Protein Name Histone H4
Gene Name H4c2
Species Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Signal peptide(a) N Secretome P(b)
Function Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.Osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) stimulates osteogenesis and hematopoiesis.

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
