Summary
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; methylated histone binding activity; and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in heterochromatin and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of PRC1 complex. Orthologous to human CBX6 (chromobox 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
