Please refer to the product datasheet for known applications of a given antibody. We\'ve tested the DNMT1 Antibody: Biotin with the following immunoassay(s):
Western Blot (WB) (Western Blot analysis of Human H1299 cell lysate showing detection of DNMT1 protein using Mouse Anti-DNMT1 Monoclonal Antibody, Clone 4G11-C7. Primary Antibody: Mouse Anti-DNMT1 Monoclonal Antibody at 1:1000.)
Background Info: Detects ~190kDa. It will cross-react with mouse DNMT1.
Scientific Background: Methylation of DNA at cytosine residues plays an important role in regulation of gene expression, genomic imprinting and is essential for mammalian development. Hypermethylation of CpG islands in tumor suppressor genes or hypomethylation of bulk genomic DNA may be linked with development of cancer. To date, 3 families of mammalian DNA methyltransferase genes have been identified which include Dnmt1, Dnmt2 and Dnmt3. Dnmt1 is constitutively expressed in proliferating cells and inactivation of this gene causes global demethylation of genomic DNA and embryonic lethality. Dnmt2 is expressed at low levels in adult tissues and its inactivation does not affect DNA methylation or maintenance of methylation. The Dnmt3 family members, Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b, are strongly expressed in ES cells but their expression is down regulated in differentiating ES cells and is low in adult somatic tissue. Dnmt1 co-purifies with the retinoblastoma (Rb) tumour suppressor gene product, E2F1, and HDAC1. Dnmt1 also cooperates with Rb to repress transcription from promoters containing E2F-binding sites suggesting a link between DNA methylation, histone deacetylase and sequence-specific DNA binding activity, as well as a growth-regulatory pathway that is disrupted in nearly all cancer cells (1-6).
Conjugate: Biotin. Storage Buffer: PBS, 0.05% BSA, 0.05% sodium azide. In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing DNMT1 are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as DNMT1 may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results.
