Anti-JARID2 (Protein Jumonji, Jumonji/ARID Domain-containing Protein 2, JMJ)

Jumonji [Japanese for "cruciform/cross" also JARID2 (Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 2) and JMJ] is a 140-155kD member of the JMJ family of proteins. It is a nuclear complex coordinator that interacts with the G9a and GLP methyltransferases to repress gene transcription. Jumonji is expressed in mammalian embryonic neurons, megakaryocytes, hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes. Human Jumonji is 1246aa in length. It contains an NLS (aa1-131), a transcriptional repressor domain (aa132-222), a DNA binding region (aa558-709) and a nonfunctional histone demethylase domain (aa916-1042). There are potential splice variants. One shows an alternative start site at Met173, another shows a deletion of aa304-1151, and a third contains a 22aa substitution foraa1-60, coupled to a 50aa substitution for aa949-1246. Over aa1-159, human Jumonji shares 96% aa identity with mouse Jumonji. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
