Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. May have tumor suppressor activity. Its gene is located in the 5q region of the genome which is deleted in del(5q) interstitial deletion, a frequent deletion found in myeloid leukemias and myelodysplasias, suggesting that it may be a good candidate for the del(5q) tumor suppressor gene. A multitude of publications have implicated JMJD1A as a driver of tumorigenesis in a variety of different cancers. Less evidence hints at JMJD1B and JMJD1C as potential oncogenic proteins. And there is persuasive data to suggest that JMJD1B is a tumor suppressor, especially in AML, and JMJD1A and JMJD1C may also be tumor suppressive in germ cell tumors. Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, heart and liver.

Predicted band size: 191 kDa Observed band size: 191 kDa
Exposure time: 2 minutes;

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA721252) at 1/1,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at room temperature for 2 hours. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1:300,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Immunocytochemistry analysis of Hela cells labeling KDM3B with Rabbit anti-KDM3B antibody (HA721252) at 1/100 dilution.
Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes at 37 ℃, permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 minutes, and then blocked with 2% negative goat serum for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Rabbit anti-KDM3B antibody (HA721252) at 1/100 dilution in 2% negative goat serum overnight at 4 ℃. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (iFluor™ 488, HA1121) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
