PRMT5 Antibody (PRMT5-21) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects PRMT5 in mouse, rat, human, bovine, and canine samples through western blotting (WB). PRMT5 functions as a type II protein-arginine methyltransferase, playing a vital role in post-translational modification of proteins through symmetrical dimethylation of arginine residues. This modification is essential for spliceosome assembly, a complex responsible for processing pre-mRNA into mature mRNA, which is crucial for gene expression regulation. PRMT5 influences transcriptional control and cellular proliferation by interacting with specific promoter regions, such as cyclin E1. PRMT5 is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm across various tissues, highlighting its significance in cellular processes. The gene encoding human PRMT5 is located on chromosome 14q11, underscoring evolutionary conservation and importance across species. With an ability to facilitate critical cellular functions, PRMT5 is a key player in maintaining normal cellular homeostasis and is implicated in various diseases when dysregulated.
