Designing a Western blot for DNMT3L? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the DNMT3L Western Blot GuideFacts about DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3-like.
Acts by hastening the binding of DNA and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) to the methyltransferases and dissociates from the complex following DNA binding to the methyltransferases (PubMed:17687327). Recognizes unmethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me0) and induces de novo DNA methylation by activation or recruitment of DNMT3 (PubMed:17687327).
