Anti-monomethyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) Antibody, Trial Size

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.

Broad species cross-reactivity is expected based on sequence homology.

Anti-monomethyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) Antibody, Trial Size is a purified rabbit polyclonal that detects Histone H3 monomethylated on lysine 9 (H3K9me1). This Ab is specificity verified by dot blot (DB), and validated in ICC, PIA, WB. The small pack size is ideal for screening applications.

Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on acid extracted proteins from HeLa cells, but did not detect unmethylated recombinant Histone H3.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.1-0.2 μg/mL had detected monomethylated histone H3 in acid extracted proteins from HeLa cells, but did not detect unmethylated recombinant Histone H3 (Catalog # 14-411).

17 kDa

Format: Purified
