ANTI-TRIMETHYL-HISTONE H3 (LYS4) ANTIBODY CLONE MC315 RABBIT MONOCLONAL

General description

Histone H3 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, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure.



The N-terminal tail of histone H3 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

Histone H3 containing trimethyl-lysine 4 and, to a lesser extent, dimethyl-lysine 4. See COA for specificity data.

Immunogen

Peptide containing the sequence [RT_trimKQ] in which lysine 4 is trimethylated on human histone H3

Application

Anti-trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) Antibody, clone MC315 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody for detection of trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) also known as H3K4me3, Histone H3 (tri methyl K4) & has been validated in WB, ChIP, DB, Mplex, ChIP-seq.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:250 dilution from a representative lot detected trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) in human colon and human breast cancer tissue sections

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) in HeLa, A431, HUVEC, and NIH3T3 cells.
