General description

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails; instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is located separately from the other H3 genes that are in the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide (ATKAA(di-Me)RKSAPA-C) corresponding to amino acids 21-31 of Human Histone H3.

Epitope: Dimethylated Histone H3 (Arg26)

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Affinity purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4) 150 mM NaCl, with 0.05% sodium azide.

Quality

Evaluated by western blot on untreated and CARM1 in vitro methylated recombinant Histone H3.

Western Blot Analysis: 1:8000 dilution of this antibody detected dimethyl-Histone H3 (Arg26) in untreated and CARM1 in vitro methylated recombinant Histone H3.

Specificity

Recognizes CARM1 in vitro methylated recombinant Histone H3. The immunizing sequence is conserved from Tetrahymena through human therefore a broad cross reactivity is expected.

Recognizes dimethylated Histone H3 at and around arginine 26, MW ~17 kDa. Possible slight reactivity with monomethyl histone H3 (Arg26).

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.
