ANTI-PHOSPHO-HISTONE H1 ANTIBODY

General description

Histone H1 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, H1 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure.

The N-terminal tail of histone H1 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.

Specificity

Recognizes phospho-Histone H1, Mr 32 kDa. Additional proteins were also detected, Mr 66 and 100 kDa.

Immunogen

Hyper-phosphorylated isoform of tetrahymena Histone H1 purified by cation-exchange HPLC

Application

Anti-phospho-Histone H1 Antibody is a high quality Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody for the detection of phospho-Histone H1 & has been validated in ICC & WB.
