Histone macroH2A2 antibody (pAb)

for Histone macroH2A2 antibody (pAb)Background

Histone macroH2A2 is a histone H2A variant and one of the three members of the macroH2A family. The three macroH2A proteins contain the C-terminal 'macro' domain in addition to the H2A homologous region. This macro domain may bind poly ADP-ribose and other NAD+ metabolites. The macroH2A1.1 and macroH2A1.2 proteins are produced from alternatively spliced transcripts from the macroH2A1 gene while a second distinct macroH2A gene encodes macroH2A2. In mammals, macroH2A is preferentially localized to the inactive X chromosome and in general is proposed to play a role in repressing gene expression.

This macroH2A2 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 162-372 of human macroH2A2.

for Histone macroH2A2 antibody (pAb)Application Notes

This Histone macrH2A2 antibody has been validated for use in Western blotting (1:500 - 1:1,000), immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. See references for more details.

The apparent molecular weight of the protein in the Western blot data below is larger than expected due to the inclusion of a GST epitope tag.
