SETD8 is a histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates Lys-20 of histone H4. H4 Lys-20 monomethylation is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. The protein mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. It is required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher order structure of DNA during mitosis. It is also involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis. Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones.
Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed.
Target-Kategorie:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6557c was selected from the Center region of human SETD8. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
