Anti-Dnmt3a, clone 64B1446

Anti-Dnmt3a Antibody was purified by Protein G chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Dnmt3a from human and mouse based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with Anti-Dnmt3a from other sources has not been determined. Protein function: Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1. Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting. Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZBTB18. Recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites. Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity. [The UniProt Consortium]
