Purity | Anti-Histone H3 [ac Lys4] was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with human Histone H3.2. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Human, mouse, and C. elegans. Predicted to react with many species including rat, chicken, Xenopus, Drosophila, and plant based on 100% sequence homology. Cross-reactivity with Histone H3 from other sources has not been determined. |

Name | H3C15 (HGNC:20505) |
---|---|
Function | Core component of nucleosome. 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. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. |

Background
In transcription, H3K4Ac is prevalent at the promoters of active genes. Usually, this modification peaks in the cell cycle after dimethylation of H3K9 occurs, which indicates that there are sequential actions of these two modifications. Methylation that occurs on H3K4 concurrently with acetylation seems to act as an adjuster to the activation effects of acetylation. Shugoshin protein cannot bind to the centromere of active cells when H3K4 is acetylated, which reduces dimethylation, and thus slows meiosis and mitosis. Usually, H3K4Ac is a transitional modification, and will become further modified with methylation as transcription progresses, indicating complex transcriptional regulation. Anti-Histone H3 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Modifiers, Chromatin Research, Histones and Modified Histones, and Epigenetics research.
