| Cat.No.: | EKIT-0086 |
| Product Name: | Mono-Methyl Histone H3-K36 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) |
| Product Overview: | Mono-Methyl Histone H3-K36 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) is used for measuring mono-methylation of histone H3-K36. |
| Description: | Epigenetic activation or inactivation of genes plays a critical role in many important human diseases, especially in cancer. A major mechanism for epigenetic inactivation of the genes is methylation of CpG islands in genome DNA caused by DNA methyltransferases. Histone methyltransferases (HMTs) control or regulate DNA methylation through chromatin-dependent transcription repression or activation. HMTs transfer 1-3 methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the lysine and arginine residues of histone proteins. SET2 is a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes methylation of histone H3 at lysine 36 (H3-K36) in mammalian cells. H3-K36 mono-methylation is commonly found together with dimethylation of H3-K27 and associated with transcriptionally silenced genes. The H3-K36 mono-methylation can be changed by inhibiton or activation of HMTs. Thus quantitative detection of mono-methyl histone H3-K36 would provide useful information for better understanding epigenetic regulation of gene activation and for developing HMT-targeted drugs. The Mono- Methyl Histone H3-K36 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) provides a tool for measuring mono-methylation of histone H3-K36. |
| Applications: | For specifically measuring histone H3-K36mono-methylation using a variety of mammalian cells (human, mouse, etc.) including fresh and frozen tissues, cultured adherent and suspension cells. |
| Kit Components: | F1 (10X wash buffer) 20 mlF2 (antibody buffer) 12 mlF3 (detection antibody, 1 mg/ml)* 10 µlF4 (fluoro-developer)* 24 µlF5 (fluoro enhancer)* 24 µlF6 (fluoro-dilution) 8 mlStandard control (100 µg/ml)* 20 µl8 well sample strips (with frame) 98 well standard control strips* 3* For maximum recovery of the products, centrifuge the original vial after thawing prior to opening the cap. |
| Features & Benefits: | Quick and efficient procedure, which can be finished within 2.5 hours.Innovative fluorometric assay with no need for radioactivity, electrophoresis, and chromatography.Specifically capturing mono-methylated H3-K36 with the detection limit as low as 0.4 ng/well and detection range from 5 ng-2 µg/well of histone extracts.The control is conveniently included for quantification of the amount of mono-methylated H3-K36.Strip microplate format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput.Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions. |
| Storage: | Upon receipt, store F3, F4 and Standard control at –20°C. Store all other components at 4°C away from light.The components of the kit should be stable for 6 months when stored properly.Note: Check if buffers F1 and F2 contain salt precipitates before using. If so, warm (at room temperature or 37°C) and shake the buffers until the salts are redissolved. |
| Warning: | For research use only, not for diagnostic use. |
