CBX5 encodes a highly conserved nonhistone protein, which is a member of the heterochromatin protein family. Chromobox protein homolog 5 is enriched in the heterochromatin and associated with centromeres. Chromobox protein homolog 5 has a single N-terminal chromodomain which can bind to histone proteins via methylated lysine residues, and a C-terminal chromo shadow-domain (CSD) which is responsible for the homodimerization and interaction with a number of chromatin-associated nonhistone proteins. Chromobox protein homolog 5 is involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with essential kinetochore proteins. The gene has a pseudogene located on chromosome 3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.蛋白別名為：CBX5; HP1A; Chromobox protein homolog 5; Antigen p25; Heterochromatin protein 1 homolog alpha; HP1 alpha;基因ID為：23468；蛋白質ID:P45973
