General description

Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure. The N-terminal tail of histone H3 protrudes from the globular nucleosome core and can undergo several different types of epigenetic modifications that influence cellular processes. These modifications include the covalent attachment of methyl or acetyl groups to lysine and arginine amino acids and the phosphorylation of serine or threonine.
Approx. 17 kDa

Immunogen

Epitope: dimethylated Histone H3 (Lys4)
KLH conjugated synthetic peptide (ARTMe2KQTAR-GC) corresponding to amino acids 1-8 of human Histone H3.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
5 μL of a previous lot immunoprecipitated methylated Histone H3 from 1 x 106 3T3/A31 cells.

Immunocytochemistry:
1:500 dilution of a previous lot showed positive immunostaining for methylated Histone H3 in L6 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X-100.

Shaping Epigenetics Discovery - Epigenetics Product Selection Brochure

"Epigenetics describes heritable changes in gene expression caused by non-genetic mechanisms instead of by alterations in DNA sequence. These changes can be cell- or tissue-specific, and can be passed on to multiple generations. Epigenetic regulation enriches DNAbased information, allowing a cell to vary its response across diverse biological and environmental contexts. Although epigenetic mechanisms are primarily centered in the nucleus, these mechanisms can be induced by environmental signals such as hormones, nutrients, stress, and cellular damage, pointing to the involvement of cytoplasmic and extracellular factors in epigenetic regulation."
