Storage:
Store at -20°C for 12 months.
Background:
Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-36' residues of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-4', H3 'Lys-27' nor H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated H3 'Lys-9' and H3 'Lys-36' residue, while it has no activity on mono- and dimethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. Participates in transcriptional repression of ASCL2 and E2F-responsive promoters via the recruitment of histone deacetylases and NCOR1, respectively. Isoform 2: Crucial for muscle differentiation, promotes transcriptional activation of the Myog gene by directing the removal of repressive chromatin marks at its promoter. Lacks the N-terminal demethylase domain.
VALIDATION IMAGES
Nuclear extracts from HeLa cells (40 μg) were analyzed by Western blot using the Bioss antibody against JMJD2a (Cat. No. bs-53136R) diluted 1:500 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right (expected size 121 kDa); the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.
To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of JMJD2a Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53136R), crude serum and flow through. The plates were coated with the peptide used for immunization of the rabbit. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution, the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:9,000.
