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.

Top cited antibody for this target with >2000 citations and >60 five star abreviews. Key target to study histone H3 trimethylation, epigenetic regulation and chromatin structure. This antibody is crucial in cancer research, particularly in understanding H3K9me3's role in gene silencing and heterochromatin formation and is widely used in studies of transcriptional repression and histone modifications involving histone methyltransferases. Key histone marker that has been implicated in both transcriptional activation and silencing.
Histone H3 is a core component of the nucleosome playing an important role in DNA packaging within eukaryotic cells. Often referred to as H3 it has a molecular weight of around 15 kDa. Histone H3 is expressed in the nucleus of nearly all eukaryotic cells where it interacts with DNA and other histone proteins to form chromatin structure. Scientists frequently study histone H3 using techniques like Western blotting and immunohistochemistry utilizing antibodies such as anti-histone or phospho-histone H3 to distinguish post-translational modifications.
Histone H3 participates in chromatin remodeling and gene transcription regulation. As part of the nucleosome complex it influences DNA accessibility and subsequently gene expression. Through post-translational modifications including methylation and phosphorylation H3 modulates chromatin structure. Common modifications include mono- di- and tri-methylation at various lysine residues like K56 which affect transcriptional activation or repression. These modifications form a part of the histone code a framework for regulating chromatin dynamics and genetic information.
Histone H3 modifications are integral to several signaling pathways that modulate gene expression and cellular responses. The histone code interpreted by other proteins such as transcription factors and chromatin remodelers contributes significantly to the regulation of the cell cycle and signal transduction pathways like the MAPK/ERK pathway. H3 interacts closely with regulatory proteins including other histones and transcription machinery to facilitate these complex processes.
Histone H3 modifications are associated with various health conditions including cancer and neurological disorders. Aberrations in histone H3 methylation are linked to oncogenic transformations with disruptions often found in cancer types like glioblastoma and breast cancer. The alterations in H3 also connect to Alzheimer's disease through interactions with other histone modifications and their impact on gene expression patterns critical for neural function. Understanding these modifications helps provide insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

Chromatin was prepared from U2OS cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. The ChIP was performed with 25 μg of chromatin, 2 μg of ab8898 (blue), and 20 μl of protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.

Histone H3 (tri methyl K9) Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) staining using rabbit Anti-Histone H3 (tri methyl K9) antibody
IHC image of ab8898 staining Histone H3 (tri methyl K9) in normal human colon formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections*, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab8898, 1/400 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the negative control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
