Anti-HP1 beta antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the HP1 beta antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the CBX1 gene, which encodes chromobox 1. This protein is known to function in chromatin organization and DNA damage pathways, among other biological roles. The human version of HP1 beta has a canonical amino acid length of 185 residues and a protein mass of 21.4 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the nucleus of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include CBX, CBX, and HP1-BETA. Western Blot is a widely used application for the HP1 beta antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
