What Does HMG Stand For?
HMG stands for High Mobility Group
HMG, or High Mobility Group, refers to a category of proteins that play crucial roles in the regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression. These proteins are characterized by their ability to bind to DNA and influence its accessibility, thereby facilitating processes such as transcription, replication, and repair. HMG proteins are significant in various biological functions, including development, cellular response to stimuli, and the maintenance of genome stability. Their diverse functions make them important targets for research in areas such as cancer biology and regenerative medicine.
