Histone H3.1, encoded by the HIST1H3A gene cluster, serves as a fundamental component of nucleosome structure and plays a central role in chromatin organization and gene regulation. Post-translational modifications of histone H3, including formylation at lysine 122, represent an emerging area of epigenetic research with implications for understanding how chromatin dynamics influence transcriptional programs and cellular responses to metabolic stress.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody targets formylated lysine 122 on human Histone H3.1, offering researchers a reliable tool for investigating this specific modification. Developed using recombinant technology and derived from a single rabbit clone (32C1), this antibody provides the sequence-defined consistency that demanding epigenetic studies require. Unlike traditional polyclonal preparations, recombinant production ensures that each lot delivers identical binding characteristics, eliminating the variability that can complicate longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations.
The antibody has been validated for immunohistochemistry applications, with demonstrated performance in paraffin-embedded human tissue sections. Testing in both human breast cancer and gastric cancer tissues at 1:100 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval confirms its utility for examining formyl-H3K122 distribution in clinically relevant specimens. The recommended working range of 1:50 to 1:200 provides flexibility for optimization across different tissue types and detection systems.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term stability, this antibody supports researchers exploring the intersection of metabolism and epigenetic regulation, chromatin remodeling mechanisms, and the role of histone modifications in cancer biology. Its specificity for the formylated epitope makes it particularly valuable for studies examining how metabolic byproducts influence chromatin state and gene expression patterns.
