Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
- Name: Anti-5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmc) [AB3/63.3] mAb
- Clone: AB3/63.3
- Tool sub type: Primary antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugation: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: All
- Host: Rat
- Application: IF ; IP ; DB
- Description: 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.
- Immunogen: 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine conjugated to BSA

Target Details
