This peptide is histone H4 (1-23) asymmetrically dimethylated at Arg3 followed by a biotinylated Lys conjugated to a C-terminal GG linker. Methylation of Arg3 is catalyzed by PRMT1 and functions to promote p300 acetylation of histone H4. Dimethylation at Arg3 also activates transcription of estrogen-regulated genes. Provided at >95% peptide purity, this peptide was dissolved in distilled water at 1 mg/ml and re-lyophilized to powder form.
