Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 (gene PRMT1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 42.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 39 kDa.
PRMT1 is the main type I protein arginine methyltransferase in mammalian cells, producing monomethyl and asymmetric dimethyl arginine. It deposits the activating histone mark H4R3me2a and methylates many RNA-binding and signaling proteins, influencing transcription, RNA processing and the DNA damage response, and it is studied in cancer and development.
