Epigenetics
Modulation of Gene Expression Without Changing the Genome
The field of epigenetics refers to the control or modulation of gene expression that produces a specific phenotype or trait without directly changing DNA sequences. Epigenetic control can occur by modifying DNA, RNA, or by modulating the proteins that bind to DNA, particularly histone proteins. Epigenetic modifications start early in embryonic development and continue as organisms age and are strongly influenced by environmental factors. The study of epigenetic mechanisms is critical to understanding drug mechanisms and cell biology spanning widely across research areas, from homeostasis to diseases including cancer, autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, addiction, and more.
We have developed an extensive portfolio of research products that are aimed at understanding mechanisms involved in epigenetics, including novel high purity active proteins and protein complexes, assay kits to measure enzyme function, and inhibitor/activator molecules.
Portfolio Highlights
500+ Active epigenetic proteins and protein
complexes, including HiP™, high purity, low
aggregation proteins.
Substrates, including histones, octamers,
nucleosomes, and biotinylated versions.
200+ Epigenetic inhibitor screening assays, provided in
an assortment of formats, including high-throughput
homogeneous assays.
100+ Inhibitor/activator molecules to study
epigenetic enzyme functions.
