- Product Overview:
Histone H4 is one of four core histone proteins that are involved in the organization of DNA into chromatin.{18136} Histones are globular proteins with unstructured N-terminal tails and are subject to a variety of post-translational modifications, such as methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and citrullination, that can influence chromatin structure and regulate gene transcription.{18136,57056} Trimethylation of histone H4 at lysine 20 (H4K20Me3) is enriched at pericentric heterochromatin and is associated with gene silencing.{19549} In senescent cells, H4K20Me3 is enriched at senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF), and levels of H4K20Me3 are increased in senescent cells compared with proliferating cells.{59494} H4K20Me3 levels are elevated in tumor tissue, compared with adjacent non-tumor tissue, isolated from patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and elevated H4K20Me3 levels are associated with lymph node involvement and poor prognosis in these patients.{56220} Cayman’s Histone H4K20Me3 Monoclonal Antibody can be used for ELISA, multiplex-based assay, and Western blot (WB) applications.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
