Characteristics: The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Histone H1 is a linker histone, present at the interface between the nucleosome core and DNA entry/exit points, it is responsible for establishing higher-order chromatin structure. Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation, they play a major role in regulating gene expression. Histone H2A.Z (H2AZ, H2AFZ) is a histone H2A variant, a protein similar to canonical H2A but with different molecular identity and unique functions. H2A.Z is highly conserved during evolution. It plays an important role in basic cellular mechanisms such as gene activation, chromosome segregation, heterochromatic silencing and progression through the cell cycle. H2A.Z is acetylated at multiple lysine residues in its amino terminus, which may enable H2A.Z to function as an insulator of chromatin domains. Histone H2A.Z antibody (pAb) (H2AZ) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, ChIP-Seq, Dot blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence and Western blot, it has been shown to react with Human samples, but it is predicted that it will react with a wide range of sample types.
