for Histone H3 acetyl Lys18 antibody (pAb)Background

Histone H3 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression. Acetylation of histones is linked to a number of specific processes including transcriptional regulation and genomic organization.

Histone H3 acetyl Lys18 antibody (pAb) tested by ChIP.

Histone H3 acetyl Lys18 antibody tested by ChIP.
Chromatin IP performed using the ChIP-IT® Express Kit (Catalog No. 53008) and HeLa Chromatin (1.5 x 10^6 cell equivalents per ChIP) using 10 µg of Histone H3 acetyl Lys18 antibody or the equivalent amount of rabbit IgG as a negative control. Real time, quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on DNA purified from each of the ChIP reactions using a primer pair specific for the indicated gene. Data are presented as Fold Enrichment of the ChIP antibody signal versus the negative control IgG using the ddCT method.
