Anti-SETD2 antibody produced in rabbit

SET domain containing 2 (SETD2) is a histone methyltransferase gene and is mapped on human chromosome 3p21.31, a region associated with growth arrest of cancer cells.

SET domain containing 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

All Prestige Antibodies^® Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Anti-SETD2 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry.

SET domain containing 2 (SETD2) plays a vital role in trimethylation of the histone mark H3K36 (histone 3 lysine 36). Mutation of this tumor suppressor gene (TSG) is associated with the pathogenesis of various cancers including, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cRCC), breast cancer, lung cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL), and glioma. In addition, SETD2 gene is also involved in the development of Huntington′s disease (HD). SETD2 plays an important role in the transcriptional elongation by maintaining chromatin structure through association with hyperphosphorylated RNA polymerase II (POLR2A). SETD2 interacts with p53 and acts as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer cells. SETD2 is implicated in DNA double-strand break (DSB) exclusion and homologous recombination (HR) repair in human cells. SETD2 in HeLa cells alters nucleosome organization via decreasing the recruitment of the FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) complex to active genes.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
