U-Blot® PRMT1 Recombinant Antibody

Background:AbFlex® antibodies are recombinant antibodies (rAbs) that have been generated using defined DNA sequences to produce highly specific, reproducible antibodies. Each AbFlex antibody contains a 6xHis Tag, a Biotinylation Tag for enzymatic biotin conjugation using the biotin ligase, BirA, and a sortase recognition motif (LPXTG) to attach a variety of labels directly to the antibody including fluorophores, enzymatic substrates (HRP, AP), peptides, drugs as well as solid supports.​ ​ AbFlex® PRMT1 antibody was expressed as full-length IgG with rabbit immunoglobulin heavy and light chains in mammalian HEK293 cells.​ ​ PRMT1 (protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1) is a member of the protein arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT) family capable of monomethylating and asymmetrically dimethylating arginine residue in proteins such as ESR1, histone H2, H3 and H4, PIAS1, HNRNPA1, HNRNPD, NFATC2IP, SUPT5H, TAF15 and EWS. PRMT1 specifically methylates arginine 3 on histone H4 (H4R3), a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation.​
