Anti-5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmc), Recombinant [AB3/63.3]

Invented at Babraham Institute

Info

Catalogue Number 153274
Applications IF IP DB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)
Reactivity All
Relevance The anti-5-Hydroxymethylcytosine antibody, clone AB3/63.3, detects 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (hmc, 5hmc), but not 5-methylcytosine or unmethylated cytosine. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is a DNA pyrimidine nitrogen base. It is formed from the DNA base cytosine by adding a methyl group and then a hydroxy group. Every mammalian cell contains 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the levels vary depending on the cell type; generally, the levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine increase with age. Although the exact function has not been fully elucidated, studies suggest that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine may regulate gene expression or initiate DNA demethylation.
Host Rat
