HP1gamma Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

Chromobox 3; chromobox 3 (HP1 gamma) HECH; heterochromatin protein 1 gamma; heterochromatin protein HP1 gamma; heterochromatin-like protein 1; HP1 gamma; HP1 gamma homolog; HP1-GAMMA; HP1Hs-gamma; modifier 2 protein

Seems to be involved in transcriptional silencing in heterochromatin-like complexes. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. May contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane through its interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) . Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins. Contributes to the conversion of local chromatin to a heterochromatin-like repressive state through H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation, mediates the recruitment of the methyltransferases SUV39H1 and/or SUV39H2 by the PER complex to the E-box elements of the circadian target genes such as PER2 itself or PER1.

Nucleus. Associates with euchromatin and is largely excluded from constitutive heterochromatin. May be associated with microtubules and mitotic poles during mitosis (Potential) .
