JMJD2A antibody (mAb)

Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
WB*: 1 - 2 µg/ml dilution

*Note: many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt / Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western blot. The addition of 0.05% Tween 20 in the blocking buffer and primary antibody incubation buffer is also recommended to aid in detection by Western blot.

This antibody is also available as an AbFlex^® engineered recombinant antibody. For details on the corresponding AbFlex Recombinant Antibody, see Catalog No. 91143.

Immunogen

This JMJD2A antibody was raised against a recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 586-674 of human JMJD2A.

Buffer

Purified IgG in 70 mM Tris (pH 8), 105 mM NaCl, 31 mM glycine, 0.07 mM EDTA, 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

Background

JMJD2A (KDM4A, JHDM3A) is a member of the Jmj-containing (Jumonji) class of histone demethylase proteins that are involved in the regulation of genome function through the removal of methyl groups from histones. JMJD2A specifically demethylates histone H3 dimethyl lysine 9 (H3K9me2), trimethyl lysine 9, (H3K9me3), dimethyl lysine 36 (H3K36me2) and trimethyl lysine 36 (H3K36me3). It also participates in transcriptional repression of ASCL2 and E2F-responsive promoters via the recruitment of histone deacetylases and NCOR1. JMJD2A contains JmjC and JmjN domains, two PHD fingers and two tudor domains.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for JMJD2A antibody.
