Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase NSD2 (UniProt: O96028; also known as EC:2.1.1.357, Multiple myeloma SET domain-containing protein, MMSET, Nuclear SET domain-containing protein 2, Protein trithorax-5, Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate, WHSC1) is encoded by the NSD2 (also known as KIAA1090, MMSET, TRX5, WHSC1) gene (Gene ID: 7468) in human. WHSC1 is a histone methyltransferase that methylates histone H3 at lysine 36 and is involved in the regulation of gene transcription during various biological processes. It is widely expressed, and its higher expression is observed in thymus and testis. It is reported to specifically dimethylate nucleosomal histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me2) and can monomethylate nucleosomal histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3K36me) in vitro. At the euchromatic regions in embryonic stem cells (ESC) it is shown to trimethylate lysine 36 (H3K36me3). In ESC, it associates with developmental transcription factors such as SALL1 via PHD-type zinc fingers and represses inappropriate gene transcription mediated by histone deacetylation. WHSC1 is reported to play an essential role in adipogenesis, by regulating expression of genes involved in pre-adipocyte differentiation. A chromosomal aberration involving NSD2 is shown to cause multiple myeloma. Overexpression of WHSC1 is reported in a variety of cancer cells and its knockdown decreases proliferation in cancer cells at least in part by loss of H3K36me2 levels. Seven different isoforms of WHSC1 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
