Histone H3 (HIST1H3A) is a core nucleosomal protein that undergoes acetylation at specific lysine residues to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression. Acetylation at lysine 9 is one of the most well-characterized histone modifications associated with transcriptional activation at promoter regions. H3K9ac Antibody / HIST1H3A Promoter Activation Marker Antibody (clone 32H23) is designed to detect Histone H3 acetylated at lysine 9, providing a robust and widely accepted marker of transcription initiation and promoter activation. This antibody is part of a broader collection of Histone H3 antibodies used to study chromatin structure, histone modifications, and epigenetic regulation.
HIST1H3A antibody, also referred to as Histone H3 antibody and H3K9ac antibody in the literature, recognizes a modification catalyzed by histone acetyltransferases that neutralizes the positive charge of lysine residues. This reduces histone-DNA interactions and promotes local chromatin relaxation, allowing transcription factors and RNA polymerase complexes to access DNA. H3K9 acetylation is strongly enriched at transcription start sites and active promoter regions, making it a key indicator of genes undergoing active transcription initiation.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal clone 32H23 antibody is uniquely positioned as a primary promoter activation marker within the histone acetylation landscape. Compared to enhancer-associated marks such as H3K27ac or elongation-associated marks such as H3K36ac, H3K9ac is most closely linked to promoter-proximal chromatin activation and early transcriptional engagement. This makes it particularly valuable for distinguishing promoter-driven transcriptional activity from downstream regulatory events.
At the molecular level, H3K9 acetylation facilitates recruitment of bromodomain-containing proteins, transcriptional co-activators, and chromatin remodeling complexes. These interactions support assembly of the transcriptional machinery and stabilization of open chromatin at promoter regions. The modification often co-occurs with other activating marks, but retains a distinct functional role in defining transcriptionally competent promoters.
In western blot applications, the antibody detects Histone H3 at approximately 15 kDa, with signal corresponding to acetylated chromatin associated with transcriptionally active promoters. Detection reflects promoter activation states rather than global chromatin accessibility or mitotic chromatin condensation.
At the cellular level, H3K9 acetylation localizes to the nucleus and is enriched in euchromatic regions associated with active gene expression. This distribution clearly distinguishes it from repressive methylation at lysine 9, highlighting its role in transcriptional activation rather than gene silencing.
This antibody supports detection of Lys9-acetylated Histone H3, enabling detailed investigation of promoter activation, transcription initiation, and chromatin accessibility in gene regulation studies.
Optimal dilution of the H3K9ac Antibody / HIST1H3A Promoter Activation Marker Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthesized peptide derived from human Histone H3 (acetyl K9) was used as the immunogen for the H3K9ac Antibody / HIST1H3A Promoter Activation Marker Antibody.
Store the Histone H3 (acetyl K9) antibody at -20oC.
