Source/Purification: This product is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic di-methyl(sy) peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg17 of human . Antibodies are purified by protein A-conjugated agarose followed by di-methylated(sy) histone H3 (Arg17) peptide affinity chromatography.

Recommended Applications: ELISA, Dot blot, Western blot. Recommended antibody dilution: WB: 1:2000

NOTE: For WB, incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% nonfat milk, 1 x TBS, 0.1% Tween-

20 for two hours at room temperature with gentle shaking. Prepare working dilution immediately before

use. Use at an assay dependent concentration. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined

by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications

Scientific Description: Protein post-translational Modification (PTM) is an important reversible event controlling protein activity. The amino-terminal tails of core undergo multiple modifications in multiple sites, termed as “” or “epigenetic code”. Arginine in core histones is a major determinant for the formation of active and inactive regions of the genome and therefore plays vital roles in multiple cellular events. In most species, arginine methylation occurs primarily on histones H3 (Arg2, 8, 17, 26) and H4 (Arg2) and has been implicated in both transcriptional activation and silencing. Arginine methylation in histones is carried out by the arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT), which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S- adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to a guanidine nitrogen of arginine. Arginine methylation in histones is impaired in the pathologies of cancer and other diseases and therefore, enzymes regulating histone arginine methylation have become promising targets for anti-cancer drugs.
