PRDM9 Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein with histone methyltransferase activity that catalyzes histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) during meiotic prophase. This protein contains multiple domains, including a Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain, an SSX repression domain (SSXRD), a PRD1-BF1 and RIZ homologous region, a subclass of SET (PR/SET) domain, and a tandem array of C2H2 zinc fingers. The zinc finger array recognizes a short sequence motif, leading to local H3K4me3, and meiotic recombination hotspot activity. The observed allelic variation alters the DNA-binding sequence specificity of the protein, resulting in distinct meiotic recombination hotspots amongst individuals and populations. Multiple alternate alleles of this gene have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
Uniprot Description
PRDM9: Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3 during meiotic prophase and is essential for proper meiotic progression. Does not have the ability to mono- and dimethylate 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of genes during early meiotic prophase.
Protein type: Methyltransferase, protein lysine; C2H2-type zinc finger protein; Methyltransferase; EC 2.1.1.43
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5p14
Cellular Component: chromosome; nucleoplasm
Molecular Function: histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity; metal ion binding; nucleic acid binding
Biological Process: meiotic gene conversion; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; transcription, DNA-dependent

Product Notes
The PRDM9 prdm9 (Catalog #AAA426564) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The PRDM9 Immunizing Peptide reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: C-PDPHSRND KTKG. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PRDM9, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
