Histone H3K79Me1 Monoclonal Antibody

Histone H3 is a nuclear protein and a component of the nucleosome core, a basic unit of chromatin, that is essential for organizing genomic DNA in eukaryotic nuclei.{57056} It is a globular protein that contains an unstructured N-terminal tail that extends outside of the nucleosome core and is subject to various post-translational modifications (PTMs), including methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, and citrullination.{57056,53978} Methylation of lysine 79 on histone H3 is associated with active chromatin and the silencing of telomere-associated genes by silent information regulator (Sir) proteins.{17798} The conversion of H3K79Me1 to H3K79Me2/3 is associated with increased expression of mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) target genes, including Hoxa9.{51045} Cayman's Histone H3K79Me1 Monoclonal Antibody can be used for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), ELISA, multiplex-based assays, and Western blot (WB) applications.
