目标描述

Histone-arginine methyltransferase CARM1 (UniProt: Q86X55; also known as EC:2.1.1.319, Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1, Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 4, PRMT4) is encoded by the CARM1 (also known as PRMT4) gene (Gene ID: 10498) in human. CARM1 is a transcriptional activator and belongs to the family of protein arginine methyltransferase. It mediates mono- and asymmetric arginine dimethylation on both histone tails and non-histone proteins. It mainly catalyzes the dimethylation at histone H3 arginine 2 (H3R2), 17 (H3R17), and 26 (H3R26). CARM1 is mainly nuclear during the G1, S, and G2 phases of the cell cycle and is cytoplasmic during mitosis, after breakup of the nuclear membrane. It is recruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases from EP300/P300 and p160 families and methylates histone H3 to activate transcription via chromatin remodeling. At the molecular level, CARM1-mediated histone dimethylation has been implicated in RNA transcription, pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA translation, and genome stability. It is also shown to be involved in several cellular processes, including pluripotency maintenance of embryonic stem cells, differentiation of epithelial cells, and spermatogenesis. CARM1 Undergoes automethylation at arginine 550 that enhances its transcription coactivator activity. Methylation is also required for its role in the regulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing. It also undergoes phosphorylation at serine 216, which interferes with S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding and strongly reduces its methyltransferase activity. Phosphorylation at seine 216 is enhanced during mitosis and decreases rapidly to a very low level after entry into the G1 phase. Overexpression of CARM1 has been reported in prostate adenocarcinomas and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

外形

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

重悬

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

储存及稳定性

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8℃; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8℃, or -20℃ for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
