Histone H4 (HIST1H4 family) is encoded by a cluster of closely related genes that produce nearly identical histone H4 proteins essential for nucleosome assembly and chromatin organization. Histone H4 Antibody detects H4 proteins derived from multiple HIST1 gene variants, enabling comprehensive detection of histone H4 across chromatin regardless of gene origin. This broad recognition provides a more complete representation of histone H4 abundance in cells expressing multiple histone gene copies. This antibody is part of our broader Histone H4 antibody collection, including acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and total H4 detection reagents for chromatin and epigenetics research.
Histone H4 antibody, also referred to as H4 antibody or HIST1H4 antibody in the literature, is widely used to assess total histone content. The HIST1H4 gene family includes numerous variants that are co-expressed to meet the high demand for histone production during DNA replication. Detection across these variants ensures accurate measurement of histone H4 levels and avoids bias associated with gene-specific expression differences.
Structurally, all HIST1H4 gene products contribute to nucleosome formation by pairing with histone H3 to form the central tetramer that stabilizes DNA wrapping. The high degree of sequence conservation among these variants ensures consistent nucleosome structure, while the presence of multiple gene copies supports rapid histone production during cell proliferation.
During S phase, coordinated expression of HIST1H4 genes ensures sufficient histone supply for chromatin assembly. This redundancy is essential for maintaining genome integrity and supporting efficient chromatin formation during DNA replication. Detection of multiple H4 variants is therefore particularly important in proliferating cells and systems with high chromatin turnover.
Because different HIST1H4 genes may be differentially expressed depending on cell type or developmental state, broad detection of H4 variants provides a more accurate assessment of total chromatin-associated histone levels. This is especially relevant in studies of cancer, differentiation, and epigenetic regulation, where histone gene expression patterns may vary.
A rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizing multiple histone H4 variants enables comprehensive and reliable detection across HIST1 gene products, supporting studies of nucleosome organization, chromatin structure, and genome-wide histone dynamics.
Optimal dilution of the Histone H4 Antibody / Multi Gene HIST1H4 Family Chromatin Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived human Histone H4 recombinant protein (Position: A16-R96) was used as the immunogen for the Histone H4 Antibody / Multi Gene HIST1H4 Family Chromatin Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Histone H4 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
