Histone H2A.X(Phospho-Ser139) Antibody

Description

Product Name Histone H2A.X(Phospho-Ser139) Antibody
Host Species Rabbit
Clonality Polyclonal
Purification Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide.
Applications WB IF
Species Reactivity Hu
Specificity The antibody detects endogenous level of Histone H2A.X only when phosphorylated at serine 139.
Immunogen Type Peptide-KLH
Immunogen Description Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of serine 139 (Q-A-S(p)-Q-E) derived from Human Histone H2A.X.

Background

Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. 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. Required for checkpoint-mediated arrest of cell cycle progression in response to low doses of ionizing radiation and for efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) specifically when modified by C-terminal phosphorylation.
