Description

EZH2 (Enhancer of zeste homolog 2) serves as the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, where it functions as a histone-lysine N-methyltransferase responsible for trimethylating histone H3 at lysine 27. This epigenetic modification establishes transcriptionally repressive chromatin states that regulate cell differentiation, development, and proliferation. Dysregulation of EZH2 has emerged as a significant factor in oncogenesis, with overexpression and gain-of-function mutations documented across numerous malignancies, making it both a compelling research target and a focus of therapeutic development efforts.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated in rabbit using clone 2C7, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding epigenetic research requires. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined genetic sequences rather than traditional hybridoma methods, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity that supports longitudinal studies and ensures comparable results across experiments. The antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide derived from human EZH2 and has been validated for reactivity with human samples.

Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates reliable nuclear staining in paraffin-embedded human lung cancer tissue, with optimal performance observed at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200. The IHC protocol employed citrate buffer antigen retrieval at pH 6.0 under high pressure conditions, followed by overnight primary antibody incubation at 4°C and detection using an HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit polymer system with DAB visualization. This antibody is also suitable for ELISA applications.

For researchers investigating epigenetic mechanisms in cancer biology, chromatin regulation, or exploring EZH2 as a therapeutic target, this antibody provides a dependable tool for characterizing EZH2 expression patterns in human tissue specimens.

Target Background

Function

Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) and 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Able to mono-, di- and trimethylate 'Lys-27' of histone H3 to form H3K27me1, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively. Displays a preference for substrates with less methylation, loses activity when progressively more methyl groups are incorporated into H3K27, H3K27me0 > H3K27me1 > H3K27me2. Compared to EZH1-containing complexes, it is more abundant in embryonic stem cells and plays a major role in forming H3K27me3, which is required for embryonic stem cell identity and proper differentiation. The PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex may also serve as a recruiting platform for DNA methyltransferases, thereby linking two epigenetic repression systems. Genes repressed by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex include HOXC8, HOXA9, MYT1, CDKN2A and retinoic acid target genes. EZH2 can also methylate non-histone proteins such as the transcription factor GATA4 and the nuclear receptor RORA. Regulates the circadian clock via histone methylation at the promoter of the circadian genes. Essential for the CRY1/2-mediated repression of the transcriptional activation of PER1/2 by the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer; involved in the di and trimethylation of 'Lys-27' of histone H3 on PER1/2 promoters which is necessary for the CRY1/2 proteins to inhibit transcription.
