Cbx5 | Chromobox protein homolog 5; Component of heterochromatin that recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me), leading to epigenetic repression. In contrast, it is excluded from chromatin when 'Tyr-41' of histone H3 is phosphorylated (H3Y41ph). Can interact with lamin-B receptor (LBR). This interaction can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins (By similarity). (191 aa) | ||||
Abca17 | ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 17; Promotes cholesterol efflux from sperm which renders sperm capable of fertilization. Has also been shown to decrease levels of intracellular esterified neutral lipids including cholesteryl esters, fatty acid esters and triacylglycerols. (1733 aa) |
