Product overview
Histone H3 (K27) Methyltransferase Activity Quantification Assay Kit (ab113454) allows the user to measure the activity or inhibition of individual histone methyltransferase that specifically target histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27). The kit is ready-to-use and provides all the essential components needed to carry out a successful HMT activity/inhibition quantification experiment without the need for radioactivity or any special equipment.
Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (K27) is a mark of gene inactivation and it is thought to mediate heterochromatin formation by forming a binding site for Polycomb. In mammalian cells, the EZ family group of proteins among others are responsible for the addition of one, two or three methyl groups at lysine 17 of histone H3.

Functional Studies - Histone H3 (K27) Methyltransferase Activity Quantification Assay Kit (ab113454)
Nuclear extracts were prepared from MCF-7 cells using the ab113474 and H3K27 specific histone methyltrasferase activity was measured.
