DescriptionAnti-Histone H4 Antibody, pan, rabbit monoclonal
OverviewThis antibody recognizes histone H4 independant of any post-translational modifications.
Alternate Names
  • H4
  • Histone H4
Background InformationHistones are highly conserved proteins that serve as the structural scaffold for the organization of nuclear DNA into chromatin. The histones have an amino terminal tail, a globular domain, and a carboxy-terminal tail. The four core histones, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assemble into the octamer (2 molecules of each). Subsequently, 146 base pairs of DNA are wrapped in a sequence-independent manner around the octamer, forming the basic subunit of chromatin, the nucleosome. 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.

Applications
ApplicationAnti-Histone H4 Antibody, pan is a Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody for detection of Histone H4 also known as Histone H4 & has been validated in ChIP, WB, Mplex.
Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
  • Multiplexing
  • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
Application NotesImmunoblot Analysis:
A 1:100,000 dilution of a previous lot detected unmodified recombinant Histone H4 protein (Catalog # 14-412) and Histone H4 in acid extracts from both untreated HeLa cells and cells treated with sodium butyrate (hyper-acetylated) or colcemid (hyper-phosphorylated) (Figure B).

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
An independent laboratory used a previous lot of this antibody in chromatin immunoprecipitation (Issac, C., 2006).

Multiplexing:
Serial dilutions of a previous lot were incubated with histone peptides containing various unmodified peptides spanning the aminoterminus of Histone H4 conjugated to Luminex® microspheres. The antibody recognized both modified and unmodified peptides.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryHistones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P62805 # Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
SIZE: 103 amino acids; 11367 Da
SUBUNIT: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
PTM: Symmetric dimethylation on Arg-4 by the PRDM1/PRMT5 complex may play a crucial role in the germ-cell lineage (By similarity). & Ubiquitinated by the CUL4-DDB-RBX1 complex in response to ultraviolet irradiation. This may weaken the interaction between histones and DNA and facilitate DNA accessibility to repair proteins.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P62805 ## Belongs to the histone H4 family.
