| Application: | Anti-dimethyl-Histone H3 (diMe-Lys9) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | ChIP validated |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Mono- and dimethylation of H3 at Lys9 are intrinsically linked to epigenetic silencing and heterochromatin assembly. Methylation of H3 at Lys9 generates a binding site for HP1 proteins, a family of heterochromatic adaptor proteins implicated in both gene silencing and in the organization of higher order chromatin. |

| General description: | Histone methylation is a complex, dynamic process involved in a number of processes, including transcriptional regulation, chromatin condensation, mitosis and heterochromatin assembly. Conserved lysine residues in the N-terminal tail domains of histone H3, Lys4, Lys9 and Lys27 are the preferred sites of methylation. SET domain-, site-specific histone methyltransferases (HMTases) are involved in methylation of Lys9 in histone 3. |
| Immunogen: | synthetic methylated peptide corresponding to amino acids 5-13 (diMe-Lys9) of human histone H3, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is identical in many species including mouse, rat, bovine, chicken, frog, Drosophila, C. elegans, tetrahymena, and Arabidopsis thaliana histone H3. |
| Physical form: | Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide. |
