Other Histone Methylation Antibodies

Histone methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the amino-terminal tails of histone proteins. This modification can affect the way that the DNA wrapped around histones is packaged, and can have a major impact on how genes are expressed. Depending on the specific modification and the context in which it occurs, histone methylation can have either activating or repressive effects.

Histone methylation is not a static modification, but rather a dynamic process that can be influenced by different factors and can be reversed. Histone methyltransferases (HMTs) are enzymes that transfer a methyl group from a methyl donor molecule, such as S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), to a specific residue on a histone protein, while histone demethylases (HDMs) catalyze the reverse reaction. Both HMTs and HATs often act as part of larger protein complexes, which can also include other chromatin-modifying enzymes, and non-histone proteins, like transcription factors and chromatin remodelers. These complexes can work together to create specific chromatin environments that promote or repress gene expression.
