RABBIT ANTI HISTONE H2BJ

Rabbit anti Human histone H2BJ antibody recognizes Histone H2B type 1J, also known as histone H2B.1 and histone H2B/r.

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. The Histone H2BJ gene (HIST1H2BJ) is intron-less and encodes a member of the histone H2B family. Transcripts from HIST1H2BJ lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. HIST1H2BJ is found in the histone microcluster on chromosome 6p21.33 (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human histone H2BJ antibody detects a band of 17 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
