Anti-KDM4A antibody produced in rabbit

Immunogen

JmjC domain-containing histone demethylation protein 3A recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-KDM4A antibody produced in rabbit has been used for chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP).
Anti-KDM4A antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

KDM4A (Lysine-specific demethylase 4A) gene encodes an enzyme belonging to the Jumonji domain 2 (JMJD2) family. These enzymes remove methyl groups from histones′ lysine residues. The encoded protein contains JmjN domain, a JmjC domain, a JD2H domain, two TUDOR domains, and two PHD-type zinc fingers. It specifically catalyzes the demythylation of trimethylated histone residues (H3K9 and H3K36) to form dimethylated forms. It mainly functions as a transcriptional co-repressor. It forms a component of the nuclear receptor co-repressor (N-CoR) complex that represses the ASCL2 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 2) gene. It is associated with histone deacetylases and the retinoblastoma protein Rb that function in the repression of E2F-regulated promoters.

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 APREST71290.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
