Mouse Cbx5 Antibody (C-term) [APR31797G]

Mouse Cbx5 Antibody (C-term) [APR31797G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: M

Specificity: This Mouse Cbx5 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 160-186 amino acids from the C-terminal region of mouse Cbx5.

Cellular Localisation: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P45973}. Chromosome. Chromosome, centromere. Note=Colocalizes with HNRNPU in the nucleus (By similarity) . Component of centromeric and pericentromeric heterochromatin. Associates with chromosomes during mitosis. Associates specifically with chromatin during metaphase and anaphase {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P45973}

Molecular Weight: 22186

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: Cbx5

Gene ID: 12419

Function: Component of heterochromatin that recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me), leading to epigenetic repression. In contrast, it is excluded from chromatin when 'Tyr-41' of histone H3 is phosphorylated (H3Y41ph) . Can interact with lamin-B receptor (LBR) . This interaction can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins (By similarity) .

Summary: N/A

Form: 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.
