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, acetylation of lysine 23 on histone 3 (H3 K23ac) marks transcriptional activation, DNA repair, and histone deposition. Modifying enzymes responsible for this PTM include p300, CBP, Gcn5, and Sas3. Anti-Histone H3 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Research, Epigenetics, Chromatin Modifiers, Histones and Modified Histones.

Gene Name: HIST2H3C

Purification: Anti-Histone H3 [ac Lys23] was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with human Histone H3. 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.

Immunogen:

Immunogen: Histone H3 [ac Lys23] affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic acetylated peptide surrounding Lysine 23 of human Histone H3.

Immunogen Type: Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Notes:

Immunohistochemistry Dilution: not recommended

Application Note: Anti-Histone H3 [ac Lys23] antibody is useful for Western Blot, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, Dot Blot, and Immunocytochemistry. 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.
