MacroH2A Antibody (C-9) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects MacroH2A protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-MacroH2A antibody (C-9) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. MacroH2A, also known as core histone MacroH2A2 (mH2A2), is a unique variant of histone H2A that plays a crucial role in chromatin structure and gene regulation. One of the key features of MacroH2A is involvement in the process of X chromosome inactivation, where MacroH2A is enriched in the chromatin of inactive X chromosomes, thereby contributing to the maintenance of gene dosage balance in female mammals. MacroH2A presence in chromatin is associated with transcriptional repression, which is vital for cellular differentiation and development. MacroH2A′s larger size compared to conventional H2A allows for distinct interactions with other chromatin-associated proteins, influencing the overall architecture of chromatin and DNA accessibility for transcription. MacroH2A serves as an important protein for researchers studying epigenetic regulation and chromatin dynamics.
