The HP1 beta ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of HP1 beta in various samples. HP1 beta is an alternative name for the human CBX1 gene, which encodes the protein, chromobox 1. It has been mentioned that HP1 beta plays a role in chromatin organization and DNA damage pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the CBX1 protein is described to be 185 amino acid residues in length and 21.4 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the nucleus of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in all adult and embryonic tissues. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated. Other names for this target antigen include CBX, CBX, and HP1-BETA. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
