Target data

Function

Core component of nucleosome. 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.

Specificity

ab5103 detects a 17 kDa band in single lane Western Blot. Peptide inhibition in Western Blot hasn't been processed. Modification specificity is determined by Peptide Array. ab5103 binds strongly to Histone H3 citrulline 2 + 8 + 17 peptide.

From Mar 2024, QC testing of replenishment batches of this polyclonal changed. All tested and expected application and reactive species combinations are still covered by our Abcam product promise. However, we no longer test all applications.

    Loading Control: GAPDH

    This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab5103 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti Rabbit IR680 secondary at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx.

    Peptide Array - Anti-Histone H3 (citrulline R2 + R8 + R17) antibody (ab5103)

    All batches of ab5103 are tested in Peptide Array against peptides to different Histone H3 modifications. Six dilutions of each peptide are printed on to the Peptide Array in triplicate and results are averaged before being plotted on to a graph. Results show strong binding to Histone H3 - citrulline 2 + 8 + 17 peptide (Human Histone H3 (citrulline R2 + R8 + R17) peptide ab32876), indicating that this antibody specifically recognises the Histone H3 - citrulline 2 + 8 + 17 modifications.
