Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(Immunohistochemistry: Representative lot data. Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human skin carcinoma using anti-phospho Histone H3(Ser10), 1:100 dilution. The antibody gave a strong nuclear signal in epithelial cells associated with blood vessels surrounding sebaceous glands in epidermal layer adjacent to tumor (left) and in malignant melanoma (right).)

Uniprot Description
H3F3A: Variant histone H3 which replaces conventional H3 in a wide range of nucleosomes in active genes. Constitutes the predominant form of histone H3 in non-dividing cells and is incorporated into chromatin independently of DNA synthesis. Deposited at sites of nucleosomal displacement throughout transcribed genes, suggesting that it represents an epigenetic imprint of transcriptionally active chromatin. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA. Interacts with HIRA, a chaperone required for its incorporation into nucleosomes. Belongs to the histone H3 family.
