Anti-Histone H3 (mono methyl Lys9) Antibody (A320137)

Anti-Histone H3 (mono methyl Lys9) Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Histone H3 (mono methyl Lys9).

This antibody recognises Histone H3 when mono-methylated at lysine 9.Histone H3 is one of the four core histones that make up the nucleosome core particle. Histone H3 is one of the four core histones that make up the nucleosome core particle. Nucleosomes are the smallest subunit of chromatin and are made up of 146 bp of DNA wrapped around an octamer comprised of pairs of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) (Smith, 1991). Histones can be mono-, di- or tri-methylated by histone methyltransferases. Depending on which amino acid residues are methylated, methylation of histones may increase or decrease the transcription of genes. Methylation events that weaken the binding between histone tails and DNA lead to increased transcription because they make the DNA more accessible to transcription factor proteins and RNA polymerase. Methylation of histones is therefore crucial for the regulation of gene expression. Lysine 9 of histone H3 may be mono-, di- or tri-methylated by SuvH39H1 or G9a, usually leading to transcriptional repression. Wide species cross-reactivity is expected from Rabbit anti Human mono-methyl-histone H3 (Lys9) antibody based on sequence.
