Description
Description: PRMT1 Mouse Recombinant fused with His-MBP tag at N-terminus produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 750 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 84 kDa.The PRMT1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: PRMT1 Methylates (mono & asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues present in a glycine and arginine-rich domain (may methylate HNRNPA1 and histones). Methylates SUPT5H.The PRMT1 protein functions as a histone methyltransferase specific for H4.PRMT1 is an essential factor in oncogenesis and is a potential novel therapeutic target in cancer.PRMT1-mediated methylation serves as a positive modulator of IR/IRS-1/PI3K pathway and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells. CAF1 is a new regulator of PRMT1-dependent arginine methylation.PRMT1 arginine-methylates MRE11 therefore it regulates the activity of MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 complex during the intra-S-phase DNA damage checkpoint response.PRMT1 plays a post-translationally part in regulating the transcriptional activity.PRMT1is found predominantly in the cytoplasma though a fraction of PRMT1 is located in the nucleus
