Background

EZH2 – (Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2, also designated Enx1 and SETDB1) is a human homolog of the Drosophila Polycomb-group protein Enhancer of Zeste protein. It contains a SET domain that catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (Histone H3 Lys27 monomethylated, dimethylated and trimethylated). Polycomb-group proteins repress gene expression by binding to chromatin and locally altering chromatin structure. EZH2, BMI-1 and Suz12 are present in the PRC2 and PRC3 protein complexes that function as mediators of epigenetic transcriptional silencing. EZH2 associates with the embryonic ectoderm development protein, the VAV1 oncoprotein, and the X-linked nuclear protein. EZH2 may play a role in the hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Deregulation of EZH2 is linked to a variety of cancers.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for EZH2 antibody.

qPCR Primers

Active Motif's Human Positive Control Primer Set MYT1 (Cat. No. 71007) and Human Negative Control Primer Set 3 (Cat. No. 71023) have been validated for performing qPCR and endpoint PCR when this antibody has been used for ChIP on human samples. For ChIP experiments with this antibody on mouse samples, the Mouse Negative Control Primer Set 1 (Cat. No. 71011) has been validated for both qPCR and endpoint PCR.

Chromatin IP Assays

This antibody has been validated for use in ChIP and/or ChIP-Seq, and can be used with Active Motif's ChIP-IT^® High Sensitivity Kit or our magnetic bead-based ChIP-IT^® Express Kits.
