Function
Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. Also mediates monomethylation of 'Lys-56' of histone H3 (H3K56me1) in G1 phase, leading to promote interaction between histone H3 and PCNA and regulating DNA replication. Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. May also methylate histone H1. In addition to the histone methyltransferase activity, also methylates non-histone proteins: mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53. Also methylates CDYL, WIZ, ACIN1, DNMT1, HDAC1, ERCC6, KLF12 and itself.

Notes
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free batch production
For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

- Activity summary
EHMT2 also known as G9a is a methyltransferase enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 165 kDa. It modifies histones by adding methyl groups to lysine 9 on histone H3 which results in chromatin structure changes and influences gene expression. EHMT2/G9a expresses in various tissues including brain heart and liver showing its widespread role in different physiological processes. As a well-studied protein researchers often analyze EHMT2 activity using assays like ELISA and western blot.
- Biological function summary
EHMT2/G9a regulates gene expression by altering chromatin accessibility. It is part of a chromatin remodeling complex interacting with proteins such as ANMTA02. Through its methyltransferase activity it maintains an epigenetic silence state important for embryonic development differentiation and cellular identity. EHMT2/G9a plays a significant role in the repression of transcriptional activity of tumor suppressor genes and developmental genes.
- Pathways
G9a functions in epigenetic signaling pathways and influences processes like the cell cycle and DNA damage repair. It interacts with proteins in the Polycomb repressive complex such as EZH2 to regulate gene silencing. Additionally in the DNA damage response pathway G9a can associate with histone deacetylases to stabilize chromatin and prevent unwarranted gene expression.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Aberrant regulation of EHMT2/G9a associates with cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. In various cancers such as leukemia G9a suppresses tumor suppressor genes aiding tumor progression. Connections between G9a and proteins like DNMT1 highlight its role in maintaining a hypermethylation state in cancerous cells. In neurodevelopmental disorders altered expression of G9a affects synaptic plasticity linking it with cognitive impairments and autism spectrum disorders.
