Human KDM4C peptide

Specificity

Overexpressed in several esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCs).

Nature

Synthetic

Tag/Conjugate

Unconjugated

Alternative Names

The 2 Tudor domains recognize and bind methylated histones. Double Tudor domain has an interdigitated structure and the unusual fold is required for its ability to bind methylated histone tails.

Antigen Description

This gene is a member of the Jumonji domain 2 (JMJD2) family and encodes a protein with one JmjC domain, one JmjN domain, two PHD-type zinc fingers, and two Tudor domains. This nuclear protein functions as a trimethylation-specific demethylase, converting specific trimethylated histone residues to the dimethylated form. Chromosomal aberrations and increased transcriptional expression of this gene are associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
