Predicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity and nucleosomal DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome condensation and negative regulation of DNA recombination. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Expressed widely. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Is an ortholog of human H1-8 (H1.8 linker histone).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
