Background

TH2B (testis-specific H2B) is originally identified as a testis-specific variant of histone H2B. TH2A is a testis-specific variant of histone H2A. They are abundant in the testis, oocytes and fertilized eggs. TH2A and TH2B are controlled by a shared promoter that is located between them. Disruption of Th2a and Th2b genes causes defects in spermatogenesis. TH2A/TH2B may enhance reprogramming by introducing processes that normally operate in zygotes and during SCNT. TH2A and TH2B induce nucleosome instability. TH2B controls the chromatin-to-nucleoprotamine transition.

Application Notes

Recombinant histone TH2B is suitable for use as substrate for histone modification enzymes, or to generate chromatin in vitro.

Protein Details

Recombinant Histone TH2B (accession number NP_733759.1) was expressed in E. coli cells as full length protein without any tag. The molecular weight of TH2B is about 14.2 kDa. The recombinant histone is >95% pure by SDS-PAGE.

Storage

Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
