Histone H2A type 2-B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIST2H2AB gene.Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A H2B H3 and H4).
