Anti-EHMT2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 1210 amino acid residues and a mass of 132.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and chromosomes. Up to 3 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in all tissues examined, with high levels in fetal liver, thymus, lymph node, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes and lower level in bone marrow. A member of the Histone-lysine methyltransferase protein family, EHMT2 is a known histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. Synonyms for this target antigen include C6orf30, G9A, GAT8, KMT1C, NG36, histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EHMT2, G9A histone methyltransferase, and BAT8. Over 210 citations in the literature describe the use of EHMT2 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
