EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homologue 2,also known as KMT6) is a member of Polycomb group (PcG) family and encodes a histone methyl transferase that has an essential role in promoting histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and epigenetic gene silencing. EZH2 is important for cell proliferation and inhibition of cell differentiation,and is implicated in cancer progression. Overexpression of EZH2 is a marker of advanced and metastatic disease in many solid tumors,including prostate and breast cancer. This antibody detected EZH2 protein as a single band with a molecular weight (MW) of 91-100 kDa in multiple cell lines. The phosphorylation may result in the higher molecular weight (calculated MW as 80-86 kDa). (20935635,21367748)
