These HP1 alpha ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of HP1 alpha in biological samples. HP1 alpha is an alias of the human CBX5 gene, which encodes the protein, chromobox 5. Notably, HP1 alpha is known to play a role in chromatin organization and DNA damage pathways, among other functions. The CBX5 protein is described to be 191 amino acid residues in length and 22.2 kilodaltons in mass. It is localized to the nucleus of the cell. This protein is known to be ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include HEL25, HP1, and HP1A.
