Histones

Histones are highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They are not consumed as a dietary supplement but are critical for cellular function and gene expression.

Category
Protein
Molecular Formula
Varies
Mechanism of Action
Histones work by packaging DNA into repeating unit structures called nucleosomes, each of which contains a segment of DNA wound around eight histone protein cores. This structure is vital for the regulation of gene expression.
