This antibody is directed against phosphorylated human HMGN protein at pS20 and pS24 residues (other HMGN proteins have this conserved sequence but at other residue positions). Reactivity is seen against HMGN1 and HMGN2. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated human HMGNs is minimal.

(High Mobility Group Nucleosome Binding Domain 1 (HMGN1))
HMGNs are proteins that bind chromatin effectively reducing the compaction of the chromatin fiber and enhancing access to DNA regulatory sequences. Members of this family have a conserved chromatin binding domain which is phosphorylated during mitosis. The sequence immunized is conserved in several species. As such, this reagent is designed as a universal reagent for the detection of all phosphorylated HMGN proteins. The High Mobility Group (HMG) proteins were originally isolated from mammalian cells and were named according to their electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels. HMGs were arbitrarily classed as a specific type of nonhistone proteins based on the observation that they are ubiquitous to mammalian cells, that they share certain physical properties, and that they are associated with isolated chromatin. HMG proteins and are now subdivided into 3 families: the HMGB (formerly HMG-1/-2) family, the HMGN (formerly HMG-14/-17) family, and the HMGA (formerly HMG-I/Y/C) family. Each HMG family has a characteristic functional sequence motif. The functional motif of the HMGB family is called the HMG-box, that of the HMGN family, the nucleosomal binding domain, and that of the HMGA family, the AThook. The functional motifs characteristic of these canonical HMGs are widespread among nuclear proteins in a variety of organisms. Proteins containing any of these functional motifs embedded in their sequence are known as HMG motif proteins.Synonyms: HMG-14, HMG-17, HMG14, HMG17, HMGN1, HMGN2, Non-histone chromosomal protein HMG
