Immunogen	Histone H3 [Asym-dimethyl Arg8] affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic dimethylated peptide surrounding Arginine 8 of human Histone H3.2.
Specificity	Anti-Histone H3 [Asym-dimethyl Arg8] 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.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2

Background	Chromatin is the arrangement of DNA and proteins in which chromosomes are formed. Correspondingly, chromatin is formed from nucleosomes, which are comprised of a set of four histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) wrapped with DNA. Chromatin is a very dynamic structure in which numerous post-translational modifications work together to activate or repress the availability of DNA to be copied, transcribed, or repaired. These marks decide which DNA will be open and commonly active (euchromatin) or tightly wound to prevent access and activation (heterochromatin). Common histone modifications include methylation of lysine and arginine, acetylation of lysine, phosphorylation of threonine and serine, and sumoylation, biotinylation, and ubiquitylation of lysine. In particular, dimethylation of H3 Arg8 (H3 R8Me2) is known as a mark of transcriptional repression. The protein arginine methyltransferases PRMT5 and PRMT2 can both methylate Arg8, with PRMT2 specifically methylating in an asymmetric manner. In addition, asymmetric dimethylation of Arg8 inhibits H3K9 methylation by G9a, but not symmetric Arg8Me2 does not. Anti-Histone H3 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Modifiers, Chromatin Research, Histones and Modified Histones, and Epigenetics research.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-Histone H3 Asym-dimethyl Arg8 antibody, H3.3B, H3 histone, family 3A, H3.3AH3F3H3F3B, histone H3.3, MGC87783, MGC87782, H3R8me2a
Note	Anti-Histone H3 [Asym-dimethyl Arg8] antibody is tested for Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, and Dot Blot. 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.
