Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ICC/IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: Use at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 89 kDa, corresponding to the short isoform of HIRA (predicted molecular weight: 89 kDa). Can be blocked with HIRA peptide (ab22456).


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

The HIRA gene encodes a histone chaperone that preferentially places the variant histone H3.3 in nucleosomes. Orthologs of this gene in flies, yeast and plants are necessary for the formation of transcriptionally silent heterochomatin. This gene plays an important role in the formation of the senescence-associated heterochromatin foci. These foci likely mediate the irreversible cell cycle changes that occur in senescent cells. It is considered the primary candidate gene in some haploinsufficiency syndromes such as DiGeorge syndrome, and insufficient production of the gene may disrupt normal embryonic development.
