CBX7
Description
The CBX7 (chromobox 7) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22.
CBX7 is a human gene.
CBX7 is part of a protein complex called PRC1-like, which plays a vital role in regulating gene expression during development. This complex modifies histones, proteins that package DNA, through processes like monoubiquitination of histone H2A and trimethylation of histone H3. These modifications contribute to the silencing of genes, including those involved in development, like Hox genes. CBX7 also binds to trimethylated lysine residues, further influencing the accessibility and activity of DNA.
CBX7 is also known as -.
