for EZH2 antibody (mAb) (Clone AC22)Background

EZH2(Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2, also designated Enx1 and SETDB1) is a human homolog of the Drosophila Polycomb-group protein Enhancer of Zeste protein. It contains a SET domain that catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (Histone H3 Lys27 monomethylated, dimethylated and trimethylated). Polycomb-group proteins repress gene expression by binding to chromatin and locally altering chromatin structure. EZH2, BMI-1 and Suz12 are present in the PRC2 and PRC3 protein complexes that function as mediators of epigenetic transcriptional silencing. EZH2 associates with the embryonic ectoderm development protein, the VAV1 oncoprotein, and the X-linked nuclear protein. EZH2 may play a role in the hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Deregulation of EZH2 is linked to a variety of cancers.

Bridging Antibody to Improve ChIP, MeDIP and IP

Some isotypes of mouse IgG antibodies do not bind well to protein G-conjugated agarose/magnetic beads, which are commonly used in ChIP, MeDIP and IP experiments. Capture efficiency can be improved by including an anti-mouse IgG bridging antibody because it binds with a strong affinity to both the protein G beads and the mouse IgG antibody. By increasing the affinity of the mouse primary antibody for the protein G bead, the Bridging Antibody for Mouse IgG can help improve the results of all ChIP, MeDIP and IP experiments that use EZH2 antibody (mAb).

Compatible Secondary Antibodies

Active Motif has developed a variety of high-quality secondary antibodies for most applications, with anti-rabbit and anti-mouse conjugates to a broad line of high-quality fluorescent molecules, as well as horse radish peroxidase (HRP). Visit our Secondary Antibody Conjugates page to find the perfect secondaries for immunofluorescence experiments with EZH2 antibody (mAb).

EZH2 antibody (mAb) 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 3 µg of EZH2 antibody or the equivalent amount of IgG as a negative control. Real time, quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on DNA purified from the ChIP reaction using a primer pair specific for the Myt1 gene. Data are presented as Fold Enrichment of the ChIP antibody signal versus the negative control IgG using the ddCT method.
