high mobility group nucleosome-binding domain-containing protein 2,high mobility group protein N2,high-mobility group (nonhistone chromosomal) protein 17,HMG17,nonhistone chromosomal protein HMG-17,non-histone chromosomal protein HMG-17.
Binds to the inner side of the nucleosomal DNA thus altering the interaction between the DNA and the histone octamer. May be involved in the process which maintains transcribable genes in a unique chromatin conformation (By similarity).
