Biological background
Biological context: Histone methyltransferase involved in left-right axis specification in early development and mitosis. Specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me3). H3K9me3 is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression that recruits HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Contributes to H3K9me3 in both the interspersed repetitive elements and centromere-associated repeats. Plays a role in chromosome condensation and segregation during mitosis.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Nucleus. Chromosome., tissue context: Highly expressed in reproductive organs, such as testis, ovary and prostate..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare SETDB2 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of SETDB2 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify SETDB2-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 2 is a protein in humans encoded by the SETDB2 gene. It is mapped to 13q14.2. This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that contain a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) and a SET domain and function as histone methyltransferases. This protein is recruited to heterochromatin and plays a role in the regulation of chromosome segregation. This region is commonly deleted in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Naturally-occuring readthrough transcription occurs from this gene to the downstream PHF11 (PHD finger protein 11) gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Nucleus. Chromosome.
- Tissue details: Highly expressed in reproductive organs, such as testis, ovary and prostate.
