• Specificity: Clone 5J18 ZooMAb is a rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects histone H4. It targets an epitope with in 10 amino acids from the N-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 10 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human Histone H4.
• Application: Anti-Histone H4, clone 5J18 ZooMAb , Cat. No. ZRB1000, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets Histone H4 and has been tested for use in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Histone H4 (UniProt P62805; also known as H4 histone family member A, Histone 1 H4a) is encoded by the HIST1H4A (also known as H4/A, H4FA) gene (Gene ID 8359) in human. Histones 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. Histone H4 is one of the main histone proteins that contribute to the chromatin structure in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Histone H4 can undergo several different types of epigenetic modifications that influence cellular processes, including methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation. For example, Acetylation at Lys6, Lys9, Lys13 and Lys17 is shown to occur in coding regions of the genome but not in heterochromatin. Monomethylation and asymmetric dimethylation at Arg4 is reported to favor acetylation at Lys9 and Lys13. Histone H4 can be phosphorylated by Tie2 on Tyr51, which is shown to preferentially occur in the presence of core histones. The phosphorylated H4 is recognized by the proto-oncogene ABL1. Histone H4 is also phosphorylated on Ser48 by PAK2, which is shown to increase the association of H3.3-H4 with the histone chaperone HIRA, thus promoting nucleosome assembly of H3.3-H4 and inhibiting nucleosome assembly of H3.1-H4. Chromosomal aberrations involving histone H4 causes of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
