| Gene name | CBX1;CBX |
| Species | Homo sapiens |
| Localization | Nucleus. |
| Description | Component of heterochromatin. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. Interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. |
