General description

CARM1 (coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1) is an arginine N-methyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to arginine residues within proteins. CARM1 targets include methylation of histone H3 at Arg17 and p300 at Arg2142. CARM1 is recruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases from the p300 and p160 families. During monocyte inflammatory stimulation, CARM1 acts together with p300 as a coactivator for NF-kB. It is responsible for moving cells toward the inner cell mass in developing blastocysts. CARM1 also plays an important role in androgen receptors and may play a role in prostate cancer progression.

Specificity

Recognizes CARM1, Mr ~60 kDa.

Immunogen

Epitope: a.a. 595-608
KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide containing the sequence (CSPMSIPTNTMHYGS), corresponding to a.a. 595-608 of human CARM1.

Application

Anti-CARM1 Antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody for detection of CARM1 also known as Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 4, coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 & has been validated in WB.
Western Blot Analysis:
A 1 μg/mL dilution of this lot detected CARM1 in HeLa nuclear extracts. (Figure A).

Target description

Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) is a transcriptional coactivator of the androgen receptor (AR). It is involved in the regulation of the biologic functions of the AR. It remains to be determined whether CARM1 is involved in prostatic carcinogenesis. The

The p160 family of coactivators, SRC-1, GRIP1/TIF2, and p/CIP, mediate transcriptional activation by nuclear hormone receptors. Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1), a previously unidentified protein that binds to the carboxyl-terminal region of p160 coactivators, enhanced transcriptional activation by nuclear receptors

Activation of the retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathway is important for controlling embryonic stem cell differentiation and development. Modulation of this pathway occurs through the recruitment of different epigenetic regulators at the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) located at RA-responsive elements
