| Description : |
CpG methylation is an epigenetic modification that is important for embryonic development, imprinting, and X-chromosome inactivation. Studies in mice have demonstrated that DNA methylation is required for mammalian development. This gene encodes a DNA methyltransferase that is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus and its expression is developmentally regulated. |
| Bio-activity : |
DNMT3A activity verified in a biochemical assay: DNMT3A (DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3 alpha) is a DNA methyltransferase that is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. Varying concentrations of DNMT3A were added to a microplate containing a bound methyltransferase substrate. After incubation, the resulting methylated DNA residues were detected immunologically and a colorimetric signal was generated and measured. Surface Plasmon Ressonance (SPR) |
