Purity | Anti-Histone H3 [ac Lys9] 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. |

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
Acetylation of histone H3 at the K9 residue is associated with chromosome condensation in mitotic cells. The presence of H3K9ac is correlated to H3K4 trimethylation, and their distribution is related to developmentally repressed genes in some species. It has been shown that neuron depolarization promotes intragenic histone acetylation leading toward the formation of this modification. In pituitary, dopamine receptor agonists lead toward apoptosis. However, in tumors, decreased availability and activity of these agonists, combined with decreased H3K9ac leads toward resistance to chemotherapies and cancer survival and proliferation. Nuclear receptor PPAR ' induces the enrichment of H3K9ac enrichment on downstream promoters, which has effects on transcription and ultimately nuclear receptor transactivation. Anti-Histone H3 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Modifiers, Chromatin Research, Histones and Modified Histones, and Epigenetics research.
