Target description

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2 (UniProt: Q15910; also known as EC:2.1.1.356, ENX-1, Enhancer of zeste homolog 2, Lysine N-methyltransferase 6, EZH2) is encoded by the EZH2 (also known as KMT6) gene (Gene ID: 2146) in human. EZH2 is a polycomb group protein that is expressed in many tissues. It is the catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex that methylates lysine 9 (H3K9me) and lysine 27 (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. It is shown to mono-, di- and trimethylate lysine 27 of histone H3 to form H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively. It displays a preference for substrates with less methylation and loses activity when progressively more methyl groups are incorporated into H3K27, H3K27me0 H3K27me1 H3K27me2. EZH2 phosphorylation by Akt1 reduces its methyltransferase activity. Compared to EZH1-containing complexes, it is more abundant in embryonic stem cells and plays a major role in forming H3K27me3, which is required for embryonic stem cell identity and proper differentiation. It is reported to regulate the circadian clock via histone methylation at the promoter of the circadian genes and is essential for the CRY1/2-mediated repression of the transcriptional activation of PER1/2 by the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer. Overexpression of EZH2 has been reported in numerous tumors, including carcinomas of the breast, colon, larynx, testis, and lymphoma. Mutations in EZH2 gene are known to cause Weaver syndrome, a disease characterized by accelerated growth and osseous maturation and unusual craniofacial appearance. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 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.

Reconstitution

30 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.

Storage and Stability

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.
