Anti-JMJD6 Antibody

The jumonji domain-containing protein (JMJD) family is defined by the presence of the JmjC domain that is observed in several diverse species. JMJD6 was initially identified as a membrane protein that participates in phagocytosis but recent studies have shown that it has other functions when it is expressed in the cytosol and nucleus. JMJD6 is thought to play important roles in regulation of development and differentiation as knockdown experiments in mice resulted in neonatal lethality with severe defects in the morphology of numerous organs. JMJD6 also can catalyze the lysyl-hydroxylation of U2AF65, a protein involved with RNA splicing, suggesting that some of the functions attributed to JMJD6 may be due to its regulatory activity of RNA splicing.

JMJD6 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino terminus of human JMJD6. The immunogen is located within amino acids 70 - 120 of JMJD6.

Highly expressed in the heart, skeletal muscle and kidney. Expressed at moderate or low level in brain, placenta, lung, liver, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis and ovary. Up-regulated in many patients with chronic pancreatitis. Expressed in nursing thymic epithelial cells.

Dioxygenase that can both act as a histone arginine demethylase and a lysyl-hydroxylase. Acts as a lysyl-hydroxylase that catalyzes 5-hydroxylation on specific lysine residues of target proteins such as U2AF2/U2AF65 and LUC7L2. Acts as a regulator of RNA splicing by mediating 5-hydroxylation of U2AF2/U2AF65, affecting the pre-mRNA splicing activity of U2AF2/U2AF65. In addition to peptidyl-lysine 5-dioxygenase activity, may act as an RNA hydroxylase, as suggested by its ability to bind single strand RNA. Also acts as an arginine demethylase which demethylates histone H3 at 'Arg-2' (H3R2me) and histone H4 at 'Arg-3' (H4R3me), thereby playing a role in histone code. However, histone arginine demethylation may not constitute the primary activity in vivo. Has no histone lysine demethylase activity. Required for differentiation of multiple organs during embryogenesis. Acts as a key regulator of hematopoietic differentiation: required for angiogenic sprouting by regulating the pre-mRNA splicing activity of U2AF2/U2AF65. Seems to be necessary for the regulation of macrophage cytokine responses.

JMJD6 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.

Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Mainly found throughout the nucleoplasm outside of regions containing heterochromatic DNA, with some localization in nucleolus. During mitosis, excluded from the nucleus and reappears in the telophase of the cell cycle.
