Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including methylated histone binding activity; single-stranded RNA binding activity; and ubiquitin-protein transferase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; positive regulation of DNA repair; and positive regulation of collagen biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in heterochromatin and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of PRC1 complex. Orthologous to human CBX8 (chromobox 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
