The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-HENMT1 antibody has been validated for WB. It is suitable to detect HENMT1 in samples from Human, Rat, Mouse, Cow, Dog, Guinea Pig, Horse and Rabbit.
HENMT1 is a methyltransferase that adds a 2'-O-methyl group at the 3'-end of piRNAs, a class of 24 to 30 nucleotide RNAs that are generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequence elements. This probably protects the 3'-end of piRNAs from uridylation activity and subsequent degradation. Stabilization of piRNAs is essential for gametogenesis.
