The JMJD2B Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure JMJD2B activity for screening and profiling applications. JMJD2B, also known as JHDM3B and KDM4B, is a JumonjiC (JmjC) domain containing histone lysine demethylase that exhibits demethylation activity toward H3-K₉Me³ and H3-K₃₆Me³. The key to the JMJD2B Homogeneous Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes demethylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for methyltransferase detection. First, a sample containing JMJD2B enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate. Next, acceptor beads and primary antibody are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts.

Scheme 1: Our histone demethylase assays utilize highly specific antibodies that recognize demethylated products. First, a sample containing the enzyme is incubated with a biotinylated substrate. Next, acceptor beads and primary antibody are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts, as shown above.
