Methylated Lysine Antibody, Biotin
Catalog# Product Description |
ICP0503 The affinity purified rabbit polyclonal anti-methylated lysine antibody is developed using a technique unique to ImmuneChem. The methylated lysine antibodies are affinity purified using N-methyl (epsilon amino group) lysine on agarose as the affinity matrix. The purified antibody was conjugated to d-biotin via acetylation. Direct labelling of the primary antibody will avoid the use of secondary antibodies therefore eliminating the interference of the secondary antibody conjugates. |

Formulation
|
250 µg/mL in PBS, 50% glycerol
|
Immunogen
|
Methylated KLH conjugates
|
Purification
|
Affinity purified with methyl-lysine and di-methyl-lysine on agarose
|
Conjugation
|
Acetylation with NHS-biotin; Biotin/Ab molar ratio - 10:1
|
Specificity
|
The antibody recognizes anti-MeK (biotin conjugate) and recognizes proteins methylated on their lysine residues (mono and di-methyl lysine). It does not cross react with acetylated proteins.

Applications
|
ELISA (0.25 - 1.0 µg/mL); WB (0.25 - 1.0 µg/mL)
|
Scientific Description
|
MeK is a conserved post-translational modification which is an important biochemical process for many protein-protein interactions. It is found in many proteins, for example calmodulin, cytochrome B, chromosomal proteins, non-histones as well as neural storage body proteins. It has been suggested that methylation of lysine plays an important role in gene silencing. [1-3]
