UHRF1 (vPairTM) Antibodies

Rabbit polyclonal to UHRF1. UHRF1 antibodies represent a pair of fully characterized antibodies that recognize two different regions of a target protein. The product is developed by Biorbyt to address whether the signal observed truly represents the protein of interest, an often encountered issue in antibody pairs-based assays. The use of a pair of fully characterized vPair antibodies in the same assay can validate signal specificity since vPair antibodies recognize two independent epitopes of the same protein. Different sets of vPair antibodies are developed at Biorbyt to work with specific applications, including antibody pairs arrays, Western blot, IP-Western, ChIP, IHC, and FACS. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase UHRF1 is a multidomain protein that acts as a key epigenetic regulator by bridging DNA methylation and chromatin modification. UHRF1 specifically recognizes and binds hemimethylated DNA at replication forks via its YDG domain and recruits DNMT1 methyltransferase to ensure faithful propagation of the DNA methylation patterns through DNA replication. In addition to its role in maintenance of DNA methylation, UHRF1 also plays a key role in chromatin modification: through its tudor-like regions and PHD-type zinc fingers, UHRF1 specifically recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at Lys-9 (H3K9me3) and unmethylated at Arg-2 (H3R2me0), respectively, and recruits chromatin proteins.
