Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-PRMT5 (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the PRMT5-21 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice immunized with GST-PRMT5 containing the C-terminal region of the human PRMT5. Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT) 5 belongs to the type II arginine methyltransferases. PRMT5 (also known as Skb1Hs/janus kinase-binding protein 1 (JBP1) exists as homo-oligomeric complexes, which includes a dimer and tetramer. PRMT5 is found mainly in the cytoplasm. This gene is located on human chromosome 14q11.2._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ GST-PRMT5 containing the C-terminal region of the human PRMT5 (amino acids 315-637)._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Western Blotting (1 paper)_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-PRMT5 antibody produced in mouse has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) participates in the symmetrical dimethylation of arginine residues. Homooligomerization of PRMT5 has an important role in its ability to methylate the myelin basic protein (MBP) protein. PRMT5 also binds the Janus kinases and are involved in an interferon-signaling pathway. It also helps to produce symmetrical ω-NG-dimethylarginine.
