Designing a Western blot for CBX1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the CBX1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Chromobox protein homolog 1.
Component of heterochromatin.
Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression.Interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) can result in the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. .
