Multiple isoforms of EZH2 are known to exist. EZH2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with EZH1.
Purification
EZH2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
EZH2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human EZH2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 190 - 240 of EZH2.
EZH2 antibody can be used for detection of EZH2 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 10 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Background
EZH2 Antibody: EZH2 was initially identified as a homolog of the drosophila Enhancer of Zeste through exon trap screening of chromosome 21. Both EZH2 and the related protein EZH1 can form complexes with the noncanonical Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) and maintain repressive chromatin, but the PRC2-EZH1 complex mediates methylation of histone H3. Both EZH1 and EZH2 are thought to function in the maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency and plasticity and recently have been shown to be essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair. Overexpression of EZH2 has been reported as a marker for advanced and metastatic cancers.
