Anti-Histone H1 Antibody

Western blot analysis of Histone H1 expression in mouse kidney (A), rat kidney (B) whole cell lysates.
Immunohistochemical analysis of Histone H1 staining in human breast cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
Immunofluorescent analysis of Histone H1 staining in Raw264.7 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight 594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark.

Protein Information
Name	H1-5 (HGNC:4719)
Function	Histone H1 protein binds to linker DNA between nucleosomes forming the macromolecular structure known as the chromatin fiber. Histones H1 are necessary for the condensation of nucleosome chains into higher-order structured fibers. Also acts as a regulator of individual gene transcription through chromatin remodeling, nucleosome spacing and DNA methylation (By similarity).
Cellular Location	Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Mainly localizes with heterochromatin (PubMed:15911621). Associates with actively transcribed chromatin and not heterochromatin (PubMed:10997781)
Tissue Location	Ubiquitous. Expressed in the majority of the cell lines tested and in testis.
