WB: 0.5-2ug/ml
Note: Many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt/Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western blot.

Testing Data
(AbFlex Histone H3K9me2 antibody (rAb) tested by Luminex bead-based specificity analysis. Luminex bead-based specificity analysis was used to confirm the specificity of AbFlex Histone H3K9me2 antibody (rAb) antibody for methyl-lysine 9 H3. Peptides corresponding to regions around major sites of histone H3 methylation or other methyl-lysine peptides were conjugated to MagPlex Luminex beads and incubated with various amounts of AbFlexHistone H3K9me2 antibody (rAb). Peptide-bound antibody was detected with anti-mouse IgG-Phycoerythrin and read in a Luminex instrument. Luminex is a registered trademark of Luminex Corporation.)
Background: AbFlex antibodies are recombinant antibodies (rAbs) that have been generated using defined DNA sequences to produce highly specific, reproducible antibodies. Each AbFlex antibody contains a 6xHis-tag, a Biotinylation Tag for enzymatic biotin conjugation using the biotin ligase, BirA, and a sortase recognition motif (LPXTG) to attach a variety of labels directly to the antibody including fluorophores, enzymatic substrates (HRP, AP), peptides, drugs as well as solid supports. AbFlex Histone H3K9me2 antibody was expressed in CHO cells, and contains rabbit immunoglobulin heavy and light chains. Histone H3 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Histone H1 is a linker histone, present at the interface between the nucleosome core and DNA entry/exit points. Histone H1 is responsible for establishing higher-order chromatin structure. Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression. The methylation of histones can occur on two different residues: arginine or lysine. Histone methylation can be associated with transcriptional activation or repression, depending on the methylated residue. Lysine 9 of histone H3 can be mono-, di- or trimethylated by different histone methyltransferases (HMTs) such as SuvH39H1 or G9a. This methylated lysine can be demethylated by histone demethylases as JMJD1A, LSD1 or JMJD2C. Methylation of this residue is mainly associated with transcriptional repression.

Product Notes
The H3K9me2 (Catalog #AAA389522) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AbFlex Histone H3K9me2 antibody (rAb) reacts with Wide Range Predicted and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Histone H3K9me2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications Validated: WB: 0.5-2ug/ml Note: Many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt/Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western blot. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the H3K9me2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Histone H3K9me2, Antibody" 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
