| Cat.No.: | EKIT-0365 |
| Product Name: | Histone H3 (di-methyl K27) Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) |
| Assay Type: | Quantitative |
| Description: | Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) is a mark of gene inactivation and it is thought to mediate heterochromatin formation by forming a binding site for Polycomb. H3 (methyl K27) is also thought to have an important role in the repression of HOX genes during development and in X chromosome inactivation and imprinting. H3 (di-methyl K27), a modification enriched at pericentromic heterochromatin, is observed to be broadly distributed throughout all euchromatic sites and participates in silencing gene expression.Histone H3 (di-methyl K27) Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) allows the user to specifically measure global di-methylation of histone H3K27 fluorometrically using a variety of mammalian cells including fresh and frozen tissues, cultured adherent and suspension cells. |
| Background: | Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby 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. |
| Detection Method: | Fluorescent |
| Target Species: | Mouse, Human; Mammals |
| Warning: | For research use only, not for diagnostic use. |
