• Immunogen: Histone H3 [Dimethyl Lys4] affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic dimethylated peptide surrounding Lysine 4 of human Histone H3.2.
• Specificity: Anti-Histone H3 [Dimethyl Lys4] was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with human Histone H3.2. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Human, mouse, and C. elegans. Predicted to react with many species including rat, chicken, Xenopus, Drosophila, and plant based on 100% sequence homology. Cross-reactivity with Histone H3 from other sources has not been determined.

• Background: H3K4me2 is a modification thought to have a role in transcriptional memory. In CD4+ T lymphocytes, H3K4Me2 is present within gene bodies regulating cellular function, but not in those of housekeeping genes, which indicates that the modification has a role in refining the tissue-specificity of expressed genes. This type of cellular identity targeting is also noted in work with human and mouse spermatozoa; the H3K4Me2 modification marks genes that are relevant in spermatogenesis. Most effects of H3K4Me2 seem to be attributed to its transcriptional activation; however, recent work also indicates that it may also play an RNA-dependent regressive role, related to the GAL-1 promoter. Anti-Histone H3 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Modifiers, Chromatin Research, Histones and Modified Histones, and Epigenetics Research.

• Note: Anti-Histone H3 [Dimethyl Lys4] antibody is tested in Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, and Dot Blot. This antibody is useful in Immunocytochemistry. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately ~15.4 kDa corresponding to Histone H3 protein by Western Blotting in HeLa histone prep lysate or the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
