Anti-JMJD1A KDM3A Antibody

The jumonji domain containing 1A protein (JMJD1A) was originally discovered as a testes specific gene, but has been found to be expressed in numerous tissues. JMJD1A is a histone demethylase and specifically demethylates mono- and dimethyl-H3K9. It has also been found to be a novel interaction partner with ER71, a transcription factor expressed in the testes of adult mice and during embryogenesis. JMJD1A is also a downstream gene of STAT3, a protein that has been found to be important in the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, and decreased JMJD1A expression correlated with the differentiation of cultured mES cells following the removal of the cytokine LIF. These findings suggest that JMJD1A might be a critical signaling molecule underlying the maintenance of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. At least two isoforms of JMJD1A are known to exist.

Anti-JMJD1A antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids near the amino terminus of human JMJD1A. The immunogen is located within amino acids 50-100 of JMJD1A.

Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys- 9' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Preferentially demethylates mono- and dimethylated H3 'Lys-9' residue, with a preference for dimethylated residue, while it has weak or no activity on trimethylated H3 'Lys-9'. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. Involved in hormone-dependent transcriptional activation, by participating in recruitment to androgen-receptor target genes, resulting in H3 'Lys-9' demethylation and transcriptional activation. Involved in spermatogenesis by regulating expression of target genes such as PRM1 and TNP1 which are required for packaging and condensation of sperm chromatin. Involved in obesity resistance through regulation of metabolic genes such as PPARA and UCP1.

JMJD1A antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
