Description :	G9a is a histone methyltransferase that is specific to lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9). Methylation of H3K9 is a signal of transcriptional repression.
Source :	Sf9 insect cells
Species :	Human
Tag :	FLAG
Form :	20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl and 20% glycerol.
Molecular Mass :	134 kDa
Applications :	Enzyme kinetics, inhibitor screening, and selectivity profiling.
Storage :	Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
