| Immunogen | A synthesized peptide derived from human KMT5A / SETD8 / Pr-SET7 Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins. Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1) . H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. |

Biological background
KMT5A (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Minus end-ed microtubule-dependent motor required for bipolar spindle formation (PubMed:15843429). May contribute to movement of early endocytic vesicles (By similarity). Regulates cilium formation and structure (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle . Early endosome . Associated with nucleus during interphase, centrosomes in early and spindle in later mitosis. . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Most strongly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Also detected in smooth muscle. Weak expression in brain and lung.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Chromatin Modifying Enzymes,DNA/Nucleotides,DNA/RNA,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Methylation.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate KMT5A antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect KMT5A expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Quantify KMT5A-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 72 kDa; calculated MW: 73748 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
