Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of H3 in tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates. Due to the 100% homology of the sequence among different species, the kit can be used to detect human, mouse and rat samples.
Target Information: Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. This structure consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a nucleosome, an octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails\, instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
