Target data

Function

The protein expressed by gene H3C1 is a core component of the nucleosome, which is essential for wrapping and compacting DNA into chromatin. This process restricts DNA accessibility to cellular machineries that use DNA as a template. Consequently, histones are central to transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication, and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated through a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, known as the histone code, and through nucleosome remodeling. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

Notes

Histone H3 (tri-methyl K4) Quantification Kit (Colorimetric) (ab115056) allows the user to specifically measure global tri-methylation of histone H3-K4 colorimetrically using a variety of mammalian cells (human, mouse, etc.) including fresh and frozen tissues, cultured adherent and suspension cells.

Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 by Methyl transferases such as SET1, SET7/9, MLL and Trx among others occurs in mammals in several distinct genomic distributions. Enrichment of H3 (tri-methyl K4) is found at transcription start sites of active genes where they contribute to transcriptional initiation.
