This affinity-purified antibody is directed against phosphorylated human HMGN protein at pS20 and pS24 residues. Reactivity occurs against human HMGN pS20/pS24 proteins and is specific for the phosphorylated form. Reactivity is seen against HMGN1 and HMGN2; HMGN3 is likely reactive but not tested. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated HMGNs is minimal by ELISA. BLAST analysis suggests cross-reactivity with HMGN proteins from Xenopus, chicken, mouse, bovine, dog, orangutan, rat, and swine based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence.

Target Information

The high-mobility group (HMG) proteins 14 and 17 are abundant chromosomal proteins that bind to nucleosomes and enhance transcription. They act as architectural elements altering chromatin structure and facilitating transcription from chromatin templates. HMG-14/17 proteins modify nucleosomal organization and mediate unfolding of higher-order chromatin structure, providing DNA accessibility. These proteins are also constitutive components of mouse oocyte and embryonic chromatin, linking chromatin structure to embryonic development.
