Description: Acetyl-Histone H4 Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assay Kit
Trade Name: Upstate (Millipore)
Qty/Pk: 1 kit
Product Overview: For use to immunoprecipitate transcriptionally active chromatin from mammalian cells using anti-Acetyl-Histone H4, ChIP grade rabbit antiserum. Detection of the gene or promoter of interest in immunoprecipitated chromatin must be empirically determined by the researcher using quantitative PCR or Southern slot-blot analysis, using promotor specific primers or probe.
Key Applications: Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
Immunoprecipitation

Entrez Gene Summary: Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6. |
