Application

Anti-acetyl-Histone H1.4 (Ac-Lys26) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot at a concentration of 0.5-1µg/mL using acid-extracted fraction of HL60 cells.

Anti-acetyl-Histone H1.4 (Ac-Lys²⁶) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

H1.4 at lysine residue 26 represses transcription. Linker histone H1 binds to DNA between nucleosomal core particles and is involved in establishing and maintaining higher order chromatin structures. Histone modifications are thought to play an important role in cancer and disease.

General description

In mammalian cells, four histone H1 variants (H1.2 to H1.5) are present in all somatic cells, and a fifth (H1.1) is restricted to thymus, testis, and spleen and possibly lymphocytic and neuronal cells. Histone H1.4 is di-methylated or acetylated at Lys26. Lys26 is located within the flexible N-terminal domain of H1.4, just preceding the globular domain.

Immunogen

synthetic acetylated peptide corresponding to amino acids 22-33 (Ac-Lys²⁶) of human histone H1.4.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, and 15 mM sodium azide.
