Target/Specificity | This CBX1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 128-155 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human CBX1. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:50~100 FC~~1:10~50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | CBX1 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CBX1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | CBX |
Function | Component of heterochromatin. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. Interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus Note=Unassociated with chromosomes during mitosis |
Tissue Location | Expressed in all adult and embryonic tissues. |

Background
CBX1 is a highly conserved nonhistone protein, which is a member of the heterochromatin protein family . The protein is enriched in the heterochromatin and associated with centromeres. The protein 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. The protein may play an important role in the epigenetic control of chromatin structure and gene expression.
