HP1 Alpha Polyclonal Antibody

CBX5 encodes a highly conserved nonhistone protein, which is a member of the heterochromatin protein family. Chromobox protein homolog 5 is enriched in the heterochromatin and associated with centromeres. Chromobox protein homolog 5 has a single N-terminal chromodomain which can bind to histone proteins via methylated lysine residues, and a C-terminal chromo shadow-domain (CSD) which is responsible for the homodimerization and interaction with a number of chromatin-associated nonhistone proteins. Chromobox protein homolog 5 is involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with essential kinetochore proteins. The gene has a pseudogene located on chromosome 3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
