Histone Variant H3.3

Cited from the Paper Distinct factors control histone variant H3.3 localization at specific genomic regions

Mammalian cells express three major types of non-centromeric histone H3 variants, H3.1, H3.2, and H3.3. Although histone H3.3 differs from H3.2 and H3.1 at only 4 or 5 amino acids, H3.3 is specifically enriched at transcriptionally active genes and regulatory elements in non-pluripotent cells.
