Anti-Dnmt3a antibody - N-terminal,Abcam,AB228691

Target data Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development (PubMed : 12138111, PubMed : 16357870, PubMed : 30478443). DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones (PubMed : 12138111, PubMed : 16357870, PubMed : 30478443). It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites (PubMed : 12138111, PubMed : 16357870, PubMed : 30478443). May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1 (By similarity). Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting (By similarity). Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZBTB18 (By similarity). Recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites (By similarity). Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity (By similarity). Also has weak auto-methylation activity on Cys-710 in absence of DNA (By similarity). See full target information DNMT3A
