    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #65127. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #65127

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    WHSC1 (D4Z8Q) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) 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.
