Chromobox protein homolog 5, Antigen p25, Heterochromatin protein 1 homolog alpha, HP1 alpha, CBX5, HP1A
Product description
This gene encodes 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 encoded product 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.1) Nozawa, R.S., et al. Nat. Cell Biol. 12(7):719-727(2010)
