Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Name | H4C1 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | H4/A, H4FA, HIST1H4A |
| Function | Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. |

Background
When K20 is di-methylated on H4, the downstream effect is silencing of genes. This modification is also necessary and sufficient for 53BP1 binding, which is a prerequisite for DNA repair, a highly conserved mechanism. H4K20me2 is associated with hypoacetylation, and inactivation of certain genes. NSD1 and Suv420h1/2 trigger the dimethylation of K20, but only after SET8 catalyzes the mono-methylation of the same lysine, indicating a complex regulation of this modification that can so seriously affect replication and stability of genomic information. Anti-Histone H4 are ideal for researchers interested in Chromatin Modifiers, Chromatin Research, DNA Repair, DNA replication Transcription Translation and Splicing, Histones and Modified Histones, and Epigenetics research.
