mDnmt3L (DNA methyltransferase 3L) does not appear to be catalytically active due to loss of the critical active site residues. It may function not directly as a DNA methyltransferase but rather as a regulator of methylation at imprinted loci. It is required specifically for the establishment of genomic imprints but is dispensable for their propagation. It is essential for the de novo methylation of single-copy DNA sequences. The protein is well-express in testis, thymus, ovary, and heart. mDnmt3L, which belongs to the 5-cytosine methyltransferase family, contains 1 ADD-type zinc finger.
Immunogen
DNMT3L (Q9CWR8, 393-431) This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the mouse Dnmt3L sequence within the last 100 aa. The antibody may recognize the human homolog (44 kDa).
Physical form
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.
