Human PRMT3 (GenBank Accession No. NM_005788), a.a. 2-end, with N-terminal GST-tag, MW=86 kDa, expressed in an E. coli expression system.
Host cell line: E. coli
Specific activity: 490 pmol/min/ug
Background
PRMT3 is a protein arginine methyltransferase that catalyze the formation of asymmetric N(G),N(G)-dimethylarginine (ADMA) residues in proteins. 40S ribosomal protein S2 is a physiological substrate of PRMT3 and PRMT3 regulates ribosome biosynthesis at a stage beyond pre-rRNA processing. DAL-1 (differentially expressed in adenocarcinoma of the lung)/4.1B is a tumor suppressor gene that can significantly inhibits PRMT3 methylation of cellular substrates. Modulation of post-translational methylation may be an important mechanism through which DAL-1/4.1B affects tumor cell growth.
Immunogen Region

Notes
50 ul reaction mix (20 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4, 20 uM S-adenosyl methionine, and 1-10 ng methyltransferase PRMT3) add to the wells coated with the substrate. Incubate at room temperature for 1 hr. Add antibody against methylated R3 residue of histone H4, incubate 1 hr. Add secondary HRP-labeled antibody and incubate 30 min. Finally, add HRP chemiluminescent substrates and read luminesence.
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
