Biological background
Biological context: Associates with Ikaros at centromeric heterochromatin.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus., tissue context: Ubiquitous. High expression in liver, spleen, pancreas and kidney..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare CBX8 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of CBX8 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify CBX8-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: CBX8 functions as a transcriptional repressor and has a role in DNA damage response. This gene is mapped to chromosome 17q25.3 based on an alignment of the CBX8 sequence with the genomic sequence (GRCh38).
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Nucleus.
- Tissue details: Ubiquitous. High expression in liver, spleen, pancreas and kidney.
- Research category: Signal Transduction
