PRMT5 antibody (pAb)

Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
WB: 1:500 - 1:2,000 dilution

The addition of 0.05% Tween 20 in the blocking buffer and primary antibody incubation buffer is recommended to aid in detection by Western blot. Individual optimization may be required.

Background

PRMT5 (Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5, also known as JBP1, Janus Binding Protein 1) is a type II arginine methyltransferase, a protein that transfers methyl groups to the arginine residues of substrate proteins. Arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification of histones and other cellular proteins. PRMT5 symmetrically dimethylates histone H2A Arg3, H3 Arg8 and H4 Arg3. It also methylates PIWI proteins which regulate small non-coding RNAs and snRNPs, regulating snRNP core particle assembly. PRMT5 functions as a co-repressor of transcription and is recruited by a number of DNA binding proteins and transcriptional repressor complexes. It is present both in the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It also interacts with COPR5, JAK2, PRDM1 and RPS10.
