Our Methylation Western Blot platform offers high sensitivity detection and accurate quantitation of proteins with Methyllysine or Methylarginine in any protein samples. Protein methylation such as Methyllysine or Methylarginine is formed by addition of methyl groups to Lysine or Argnine residue of proteins. Protein methylation has been most studied in histones. Methylated histones on certain residues can repress or activate gene expression. Applied Biomics’ 2D Fluorescent Western Blot has been successfully applied in studying the functions of Methylated protein. In addition, we offer mass spectrometry service to identify the methylation sites.

Representative PTM 2D Western Blots:

1. Phosphorylation	6. Nitrotyrosine
2. Ubiquitination	7. Biotinylation
3. Acetylated-Lysine	8. Succinyl-Lysine
4. Sulfo-Tyrosine	9. Citrullination
5. Methyl-Arginine	10. 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)

5. Methyl-Arginine
