Methylated (ε-N) Lysine Antibody
|
Product Description
|
The affinity purified rabbit polyclonal anti-methylated lysine antibody was developed using a technique unique to ImmuneChem. The methylated lysine antibodies are affinity purified using N-methyl (epsilon amino group) lysine on agarose as the affinity matrix. The antibodies could be utilized for detection, quantization and isolation of proteins with methylated lysine residues.

![]() Western blot analysis of the methylated histone from melanoma cells with anti-methylated lysine anti-MeK (ICP0501). Histones were isolated with cold 0.1M HCl extraction followed by:
A: Blot with 0.5 µg/mL of anti-MeK (ICP0501) in TBSt and blocked with synthetic methylated BSA 100 µg/mL
B: Blot with 0.5 µg/mL of anti-MeK (ICP0501) in TBSt

Formulation
|
250 µg/mL in Tris-phosphate buffer, 50% glycerol
|

Immunogen
|
Methylated KLH conjugates
|
||
Purification
|
The antibody was immunoaffinity purified with epsilon N-methyl lysine on agarose.
|
||
Specificity
|
The antibody recognizes proteins or peptides methylated on lysine residues (mono, di-methyllysine). There are no cross reactions with acetylated proteins. The cross reactivity with tri-methyl lysine has not been tested.

Scientific Description
|
MeK is a conserved post-translational modification and is an important biochemical process for many protein-protein interactions. It is found in many proteins, for example calmodulin, cytochrome C, chromosomal proteins, histones and non-histones as well as neural storage body proteins. It has been suggested that methylation of lysine plays an important role in gene silencing. [1-3]
