Gene information for CBX3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11335
Official gene symbolCBX3
Full namechromobox homolog 3 (HP1 gamma homolog, Drosophila)
Aliases,HECH,HP1-GAMMA,HP1Hs-gamma,
Gene summaryAt the nuclear envelope, the nuclear lamina and heterochromatin are adjacent to the inner nuclear membrane. The protein encoded by this gene binds DNA and is a component of heterochromatin. This protein also can bind lamin B receptor, an integral membrane protein found in the inner nuclear membrane. The dual binding functions of the encoded protein may explain the association of heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein but differing in the 5' UTR, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
