Immunogen	Histone H3 [Sym-dimethyl Arg2, Dimethyl Lys4] affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with synthetic dimethylated/dimethylated peptides surrounding Arginine 2 / Lysine 4 of human Histone H3.2.
Specificity	Anti-Histone H3 [Sym-dimethyl Arg2, 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	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. The dimethylation of both arginine 2 (H3 Arg2Me2) and lysine 4 (H3 K4Me2) of H3 are both known marks to have opposing affects. Arg2Me2 maintains transcriptional silence by silencing Set1 mediated K4 methylation, in which K4 methylation is normally associated with active chromatin. The protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT6 can methylate H3R2 in vivo, and overexpression of this enzyme downregulates Hox and Myc dependent genes, both of which are targets of H3 K4 methylation. 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 Sym-dimethyl Arg2 dimethyl Lys4 antibody, H3.3B, H3 histone, family 3A, H3.3AH3F3H3F3B, histone H3.3, MGC87783, MGC87782, H3 R2me2s/K4me2
Note	Anti-Histone H3 [Sym-dimethyl Arg2, Dimethyl Lys4] antibody is tested for Western Blot, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, Dot Blot, and Immunofluorescence. 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.
