Histone Methyltransferase, SUV39H1 (Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, SUV39H1, Histone H3-K9 methyltransferase 1, H3-K9-HMTase 1, Full=Position-effect variegation 3-9 homolog, Suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1, Su(var)3-9 homolog 1)

The histone methyltransferase KMT1A / SUV39H1 is the mammalian homologue of the Drosophila PEV modifier Su(var)3-9 protein. SUV39H1 contains the SET and chromo domains. In eukaryotic cells, SUV39H1 and the methyl-lysine binding protein HP1 interact to repress transcription at heterochromatic sites. SUV39H1 methylates histone H3 on lysine 9, which generates a binding site for HP1 proteins that plays a role in heterochromatin formation and gene silencing.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 0.5-4ug/ml\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
