Anti-euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 is a known alias name of the protein euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2, encoded by the EHMT2 gene in humans. This 1210-amino acid residue protein is a known histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. It is localized to the nucleus and chromosomes of the cell and features methylated post-translational modifications. In terms of tissue expression, 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. Other synonyms for euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2 include BAT8, C6orf30, and G9A.
