Gene Information

human ... DNMT3A(1788)

General description

CpG methylation is an epigenetic modification that is important for embryonic development, imprinting, and X-chromosome inactivation. Studies in mice have demonstrated that DNA methylation is required for mammalian development. DNMT3 is a developmentally regulated DNA methyltransferase. DNMT3A2 is a second isoform of DNMT3 that is expressed from an alternative promoter. DNMT3A2 localizes to euchromatin and is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. Binding of DNMT3L (DNMT3-like protein) to DNMT3A2 promotes a dramatic reorganization of DNMT3A2 subunits and leads to the formation of specific complexes with enhanced DNA methyltransferase activity. DNMT3A2 targets endogenous DNMT3L to embryonic stem cell chromatin and induces regional DNA methylation.

Specificity

Other homologies: Predicted to react with Mouse and Rat based on 100% sequence homology
The antibody recognizes isoform 2 of human DNMT3A. Additional lower molecular weight bands are detected in some samples.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus
The immunogen was a KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human DNMT3A2.

Application

ELISA:
This antibody was shown by an outside laboratory to be suitable for ELISA.

Immunocytochemistry:
This antibody detects DMNT3A2 in the nuclei of NIH/3T3, HeLa, and A431 cells.

The DNMT3-like protein, DNMT3L, is required for germ line DNA methylation, although it is inactive as a DNA methyltransferase per se. Previous studies have shown that DNMT3L physically associates with the active de novo DNA methyltransferases, DNMT3A and DNMT3B, and
