Rabbit anti-Human SETD7 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q8WTS6

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SETD7

Target Full Name

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7

Target Function

Histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of genes such as collagenase or insulin. Recruited by IPF1/PDX-1 to the insulin promoter, leading to activate transcription. Has also methyltransferase activity toward non-histone proteins such as p53/TP53, TAF10, and possibly TAF7 by recognizing and binding the [KR]-[STA]-K in substrate proteins. Monomethylates 'Lys-189' of TAF10, leading to increase the affinity of TAF10 for RNA polymerase II. Monomethylates 'Lys-372' of p53/TP53, stabilizing p53/TP53 and increasing p53/TP53-mediated transcriptional activation.

Target Background

Enables histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity and p53 binding activity. Involved in peptidyl-lysine dimethylation and peptidyl-lysine monomethylation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to DNA damage stimulus and heterochromatin organization. Located in chromosome and nucleolus.
