General description
Histone acetyltransferase MYST4 is an enzyme encoded by the MYST4 gene in humans and is mapped to chromosome band 10q22. It is referred to as qkf, MORF, MOZ2, GTPTS, MYST4, ZC2HC6B, querkopf and KAT6B. It is a 1781-residue protein and possesses similarity with MOZ (monocytic leukemia zinc finger protein). It is ubiquitously expressed in adult human tissues and has intrinsic histone acetyltransferase activity. It consists of histone acetyltransferase domain, a strong transcriptional repression domain at its N terminus and a strong activation domain at its C terminus.
Immunogen
Histone acetyltransferase MYST4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Biochem/physiol Actions
KAT6B (K(lysine) acetyltransferase 6B) is considered as a novel histone acetyltransferase containing multiple functional domains and may be involved in both positive and negative regulation of transcription. This gene may play crucial role during early developmental processes. Mutation in this gene causes typical Say-Barber/Biesecker/Young-Simpson (SBBYS) syndrome and KAT6B-related disorders that includes genitopatellar syndrome (GPS).
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST70948.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
