…Epigenetics refers to chemical modifications made to DNA that alter gene expression but do not change the underlying DNA sequence. Many important biological processes involve epigenetic regulation, including those that…
…dioxygenase 1 (TET1) was inversely correlated with adipocyte beiging and thermogenesis. TET1 is best known as an enzyme with DNA demethylase activity that can remove methyl groups from DNA. The…
…tighten the packaging of DNA. This makes the DNA more or less available to transcription, impacting the expression of particular genes. “We were able to show that the histones in…
…of DNMT3B protein with EpiGentek’s EpiQuik Dnmt3B Assay Kit. DNA methyltransferases, or DNMTs, are epigenetic enzymes that catalyze the process of DNA methylation, a mechanism that has previously been connected…
…withdrawal symptoms, and the desire to use again. Previously, it had been studied that an epigenetic drug could alter DNA methylation in the brain during drug withdrawal with hopes in…
…study with Rafael Maldonado. Epigenetics, which is involved in the interplay between genes and the environment, seems crucial in the susceptibility towards developing food addiction. DNA methylation, histone modifications, and…
…understand the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Epigenetic marks like DNA methylation and certain histone modifications found in the blood and brain have been previously linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Published in…
…They discovered for the first time that an epigenetic histone modification, specifically histone methylation, is able to influence addictive behavior. In addition, they were the first to selectively breed rats…
…was the protein methyl-CPG binding protein MeCP2, resulting in hypomethylation of the AVP gene. Histones are proteins responsible for the packaging of DNA and thus play a role in the…
…the proteins responsible for adding the modification resulted in a loss of all H3K4 methylation. They also discovered that H3K4me3 controls the release of RNA polymerase II, an enzyme that…
