General description

Histone MacroH2A (mH2A), also known as H2AFY, is a vertebrate-specific histone variant associated with condensed, inactive heterochromatin. This histone variant consists of a histone H2A-like domain fused to a large non-histone region. mH2A has been shown to repress RNA polymerase II-driven transcription at the level of transcriptional initiation. The non-histone region of mH2A is directly involved in the repression of transcription, histone acetylation and blocking SWI/SNF and ACF nucleosome remodeling. This variant histone is enriched in chromatin of the female inactive X chromosome and in highly methylated CpG loci.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human macro-H2A1.2.

Heterochromatin formation plays a pivotal role in regulating chromatin organization and influences nuclear architecture and genome stability and expression. Amongst the locations where heterochromatin is found, the pericentric regions have the capability to attract the histone variant macroH2A1. However, the
