Product Information

Product Usage Information

The CUT&RUN dilution was determined using CUT&RUN Assay Kit #86652.
Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Immunoprecipitation 1:200
CUT&RUN 1:25

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

WHSC1 (D4Z8Z) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total WHSC1 protein. Based on antigen sequence, this antibody should detect WHSC1 Isoform II (UniProt O96028-1) and REIIBP (UniProt O96028-4). This antibody does not detect Isoform I (UniProt O96028-3).

Species Reactivity:

Human, Monkey

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the carboxy terminus of human WHSC1 protein.

Background

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate protein 1 (WHSC1), also known as Nuclear SET domain-containing protein 2 (NSD2) and Multiple myeloma SET domain-containing protein (MMSET), is a histone methyltransferase protein that catalyzes the di-methylation of histone H3 Lys36, a mark that is associated with transcriptionally active regions of the genome (1,2). WHSC1 haploinsufficiency is implicated in the developmental disorder known as Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS), which is characterized by growth and mental retardation, and congenital heart defects (3). In addition, WHSC1 is overexpressed and associated with poor prognosis in a large variety of human cancers, including neuroblastoma, and ovarian, hepatocellular, endometrial, and colorectal carcinoma (4-8). In multiple myeloma, 15-20% of all patients show overexpression of WHSC1 due to a t(4;14)(p16.3;q32) chromosomal translocation that places the WHSC1 gene upstream of a strong enhancer (2). The WHSC1 gene encodes for three major protein isoforms. Isoform II is the full-length protein containing 1365 amino acids. Isoform I, which is generated by alternative splicing, is identical to the N-terminal 647 amino acids of isoform II. A third isoform, known as REIIBP, is generated from a transcript initiating in intron 9 of the WHSC1 locus and is identical to the C-terminal 584 amino acids of isoform II.

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
