General description

Anti-acetyl-Histone H3 (Ac-Lys9) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for:
  • indirect immunofluorescence at a dilution of 1:1,000 using NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line treated with sodium butyrate
  • microarray
  • western blot at a dilution of 1:1,000 using whole cell extract of the mouse fibroblast NIH3T3 cell line treated with sodium butyrate

Immunogen

synthetic acetylated [Ac-Lys9] histone H3 peptide (amino acids 7-20) corresponding to the N-terminus of human histone H3. The sequence is identical in many species including mouse, rat, bovine, chicken, frog, Drosophila, and C. elegans, and is highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in Tetrahymena histone H3.

Application

Anti-acetyl-Histone H3 (Ac-Lys9) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • indirect immunofluorescence
  • immunoblotting
  • immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Histone proteins H3, H4, H2A, and H2B function as building blocks to package eukaryotic DNA into repeating nucleosome units that are folded in higher order chromatin fibers.
In most species, histone H3 is primarily acetylated at lysine 9, 14, 18, and 23. Acetylation at lysine 9 significantly influences histone deposition and chromatin assembly in some organisms. Acetylation of specific lysine residues in H3 is also associated with processes apart from transcription.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Chromatin structure plays a fundamental role in regulating processes that take place on the DNA, such as transcription, replication, and recombination, all of which occur on nucleosomal templates. Therefore, mapping the position of histones selectively modified and histone variants or non-histone components of chromatin in specific DNA sequences, can provide valuable insights into how these proteins (and their modifications) function in a chromatin context.
