Anti-Histone H2AZ, clone RM215 (recombinant antibody)

1 mg/ml in PBS with 50% Glycerol, 1% BSA and 0.09% sodium azide. This recombinant Histone H2AZ antibody reacts to Histone H2AZ protein, independent of post-translational modifications. No cross reactivity with other histone proteins. Protein function: Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. May be involved in the formation of constitutive heterochromatin. May be required for chromosome segregation during cell division. [The UniProt Consortium]
