HDAC7 Rabbit anti-Human, Polyclonal, Bethyl Laboratories

Description

• The recommended shelf life for this product is 1 year from date of receipt
• Application Note: For IHC, epitope retrieval with citrate buffer pH 6.0 is recommended for FFPE tissue sections
• Based on 100% sequence identity, this antibody is predicted to react with Mouse Histone deacetylase (HDAC) and histone acetyltransferase (HAT) are enzymes that regulate transcription by selectively deacetylating or acetylating the eta-amino groups of lysines located near the amino termini of core histone proteins (1)
• Eight members of HDAC family have been identified in the past several years (2,3)
• These HDAC family members are divided into two classes, I and II
• Class I of the HDAC family comprises four members, HDAC-1, 2, 3, and 8, each of which contains a deacetylase domain exhibiting from 45 to 93% identity in amino acid sequence
• Class II of the HDAC family comprises HDAC-4, 5, 6, and 7, the molecular weights of which are all about two-fold larger than those of the class I members, and the deacetylase domains are present within the C-terminal regions, except that HDAC-6 contains two copies of the domain, one within each of the N-terminal and C-terminal regions
• Human HDAC-1, 2 and 3 were expressed in various tissues, but the others (HDAC-4, 5, 6, and 7) showed tissue-specific expression patterns (3)
• These results suggested that each member of the HDAC family exhibits a different, individualsubstrate specificity and function in vivo.
