Background: SET8 specifically catalyzes the mono-methylation of H4 at K20. Loss of this crucial methylation causes multiple DNA breaks, which instigates a p53-dependent DNA damage response to avoid mitosis and aberrant chromosomal activity. Therefore, this PTM is essential to genome replication and stability through S-phase. In mammalian stem cells, Xist expression blocks the formation of H4K20me1, which is one of the first examples of a direct connection between chromatin and stem cell differentiation. Anti-Histone H4 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Modifiers, Chromatin Research, DNA Repair, DNA replication Transcription Translation and Splicing, Histones and Modified Histones, and Epigenetics research.

Gene Name: HIST4H4

Purification: Anti-Histone H4 [Monomethyl Lys20] was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with human Histone H4. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Human, mouse, and C. elegans. Predicted to react with most mammal species. Cross-reactivity with Histone H4 from other sources has not been determined.

Immunogen:

Immunogen: Histone H4 [Monomethyl Lys20] affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic monomethylated peptide surrounding Lysine 20 of human Histone H4.

Immunogen Type: Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes:

Immunohistochemistry Dilution: 1:50

Application Note: Anti-Histone H4 [Monomethyl Lys20] antibody is useful for Western Blot, Dot Blot, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence, and Immunocytochemistry. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately ~13 kDa corresponding to Histone H4 protein by Western Blotting in HeLa histone prep lysate or the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
