General description

DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1) is one of three mammalian enzymes that catalyze the addition of a methyl group to the 5’ carbon of cytosine residues in CpG dinucleotides. These methylation marks are heritable modifications that are transferred to new DNA molecules following replication, by the activity of Dnmt1, and possibly Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b. Dnmt1 recognizes hemimethylated CpG regions with the aid of the UHRF1 protein, and it mediates the methylation of cytosines at those sites. DNA methylation has been linked to chromosome stability and gene expression in somatic cells; and to parental imprinting and X-chromosome inactivation in germ cells. Several studies have indicated that DNA methylation patterns are altered in various cancers.

Immunogen

His-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human Dnmt1.
