Description
Product Characteristics:
Description: Chromobox homolog 8 (CBX8), a Polycomb Group protein that interacts with MLL-AF9 and TIP60, plays an essential role in MLL-AF9 transcriptional regulation and leukemogenesis. CBX8, which is part of one of the PRC1 complexes, regulates proliferation of diploid human and mouse fibroblasts through direct binding to the INK4A-ARF locus.,
Aliases: PC3, RC1
Target Information: Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1- like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones\, it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility
