Other Names | Putative histone-lysine N-methyltransferase PRDM6, PR domain zinc finger protein 6, PR domain-containing protein 6, PRDM6, PFM3 |
Target/Specificity | This PRDM6 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 44-72 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human PRDM6. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | PRDM6 Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PRDM6 |

Synonyms | PFM3 |
Function | Putative histone methyltransferase that acts as a transcriptional repressor of smooth muscle gene expression. Promotes the transition from differentiated to proliferative smooth muscle by suppressing differentiation and maintaining the proliferative potential of vascular smooth muscle cells. Also plays a role in endothelial cells by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. It is unclear whether it has histone methyltransferase activity in vivo. According to some authors, it does not act as a histone methyltransferase by itself and represses transcription by recruiting EHMT2/G9a. According to others, it possesses histone methyltransferase activity when associated with other proteins and specifically methylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 in vitro. 'Lys-20' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression. |
