Invitrogen™ DNMT3A Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA1882

Catalog No. PA1882

Description

PA1-882 detects DNA methyltransferase 3a (Dnmt3a) from human and mouse tissues and cells as well as recombinant human Dnmt3a. This antibody does not detect full length recombinant human Dnmt3b or Dnmt1. PA1-882 has been successfully used in Western blot procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~120 kDa protein representing Dnmt3a from P19 cell nuclear extracts. The PA1-882 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues D(86) L L P N G D L E K R S E P Q(100) C of human Dnmt3a. This immunizing peptide (Cat. # PEP-116) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.

Methylation of DNA at cytosine residues plays an important role in regulation of gene expression, genomic imprinting and is essential for mammalian development. Hypermethylation of CpG islands in tumor suppressor genes or hypomethylation of bulk genomic DNA may be linked with development of cancer. To date, 3 families of mammalian DNA methyltransferase genes have been identified which include Dnmt1, Dnmt2 and Dnmt3. Dnmt1 is constitutively expressed in proliferating cells and inactivation of this gene causes global demethylation of genomic DNA and embryonic lethality. Dnmt2 is expressed at low levels in adult tissues and its inactivation does not affect DNA methylation or maintenance of methylation. The Dnmt3 family members, Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b, are strongly expressed in ES cells but their expression is down regulated in differentiating ES cells and is low in adult somatic tissue. Recently, it has been shown that naturally occurring mutations of Dnmt3b gene occurs in patients with a rare autosomal recessive disorder, termed ICF (immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies) syndrome.
