Gene Information

General description

Histone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H4 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure. Acetylation of histone H4 occurs at several different lysine positions in the histone tail and is performed by a family of enzymes known as Histone Acetyl Transferases (HATs).

Specificity

This antibody is expected to demonstrate broad species cross-reactivity.
This antibody recognizes the N-terminus of Histone H4 acetylated at Lys5.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of Histone H4 acetylated at Lys5.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected acetyl-Histone H4 in HeLa and A431 cells.

Dot Blot Specificity Analysis: A representative lot detected acetyl-histone H4 (Lys5) peptides, but not unacetylated-histone H4 (Lys4) peptides or other peptides corresponding to modified histones.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Analysis: 5 µL from a representative lot immunoprecipitated acetyl-Histone H4 in HeLa S3 chromatin.

Use Anti-acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys5) Antibody (Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody) validated in WB, DB, ICC, ChIP-seq, ChIP to detect acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys5) also known as H4K5Ac, Histone H4 (acetyl K5).

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in HeLa acid extract.

Western Blot Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody detected acetyl-Histone H4 in 10 µg of HeLa acid extract.

Target description

~13 kDa observed

Physical form

Immunodepleted rabbit serum with 0.05% soduim azide and 30% glycerol.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Analysis Note

Control
HeLa acid extract

Heterochromatin is a common DNA packaging form employed by eukaryotes to constitutively silence transposable elements. Determining which sequences to package as heterochromatin is vital for an organism. Here, we use Drosophila melanogaster to study heterochromatin formation, exploiting position-effect variegation, a
