Their function is to package DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. Histones are the main proteins in chromatin. Chromatin is a combination of DNA and protein which makes up the contents of a cell nucleus. Because DNA wraps around histones, they also play a role in gene regulation

● Histones are highly basic proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes.

● They are the chief protein components of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and playing a role in gene regulation.
