Ac-Histone H3 Antibody (AH3-120): sc-56616

Ac-Histone H3 Antibody (AH3-120) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody raised against an amino acid sequence containing acetylated Lysine 9 of Histone H3 of human origin, and reacts with proteins from mouse, rat, human, Drosophila, Xenopus, C. elegans, and bovine species; anti-Ac-Histone H3 antibody (AH3-120) is suitable for applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and immunofluorescence (IF). Histone H3 is a core component of the nucleosome, the fundamental unit of chromatin in eukaryotic cells, where DNA is wrapped around histone octamers composed of Histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, resulting in the dense packing of DNA that regulates access to genetic information. The acetylation of Histone H3 at lysine 9 is a critical post-translational modification that plays a significant role in gene regulation by altering chromatin structure; this modification reduces the positive charge on histone tails, weakening their interaction with negatively charged DNA and leading to a more relaxed chromatin state that facilitates the binding of transcription factors and the initiation of gene transcription. Understanding the function of acetylated Histone H3 at lysine 9 is important because this modification is associated with active gene expression and is involved in various biological processes such as cell cycle progression, differentiation, and response to environmental stimuli; dysregulation of this modification has been implicated in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Ac-Histone H3 (AH3-120) monoclonal antibody provides a valuable tool for researchers studying epigenetic mechanisms, chromatin dynamics, and the regulation of gene expression, contributing to a deeper understanding of cellular function and the development of therapeutic strategies.
