Chromobox protein homolog 3 is a
protein that is encoded by the CBX3gene in humans.[5][6]
At the nuclear envelope, the
nuclear lamina and
heterochromatin are adjacent to the inner
nuclear membrane. The protein encoded by this gene binds DNA and is a component of heterochromatin. This protein also can bind lamin B receptor, an integral membrane protein found in the inner nuclear membrane. The dual binding functions of the encoded protein may explain the association of heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein but differing in the 5' UTR, have been found for this gene.[6]
