Popis

General description

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is a DNA pyrimidine nitrogen base formed from the enzymatic conversion of 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by the TET family of iron-dependent oxygenases. Data suggests that every mammalian cell contains 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the levels vary depending on the cell type; data also suggests that levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine increases with age. The highest levels are found in neuronal cells of the central nervous system and certain mammalian tissues such as mouse Purkinje and granule neurons. Although the exact function has not been fully elucidated, studies suggest that 5-hydroxymethlcytosine may regulate gene expression or initiate DNA demethylation.

Specificity

Expected to detect 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in all species

This antibody detects 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine, but not 5-Methylcytosine or unmethylated cytosine.

Immunogen

BSA-conjugated recombinant Hydroxymethylcytosine DNA.

Application

Detect 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) using this Anti-5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) Antibody, clone HMC-MA01 validated for use in Dot Blot, ICC, Immunoprecipitation.

Hydroxymethylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (hMeDIP) Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory to immunoprecipitate 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine DNA usingh chomatin from 293T cells overexpressing mTET1-CD. (Dr. D. Chen, Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences)

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an independent laboratory to stain 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine DNA in cortical neurons from atg5-disrupted mouse. (Dr. D. Chen, Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences)
