Cat.No.:  EKIT-0016
Product Name:  Acetyl Histone H4K16 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric)
Product Overview:  Acetyl Histone H4K16 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) is used for measuring acetylation of histone H4K16.
Description:  Acetylation of histones, including histone H3 and H4, has been involved in the regulation of chromatin structure and recruitment of transcription factors to the gene promoters. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a critical role in the control of histone H4 acetylation at multiple sites. Acetylation of histone H4 at lysine 16 (H4K16) reflects the hyperacetylated state in histone H4 and is strongly correlated with active states of genes. H4K16 acetylation is related to euchromatin and DNA repair and hypoacetylation of H4K16 is commonly found in human tumors. Histone H4K16 acetylation may be increased by inhibition of HDACs and decreased by HAT inhibition; thus, quantitative detection of acetyl histone H4K16 would provide useful information for better understanding epigenetic regulation of gene activation and for developing HAT or HDAC-targeted drugs. Acetyl Histone H4K16 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) provides a tool for measuring acetylation of histone H4K16.
Applications:  Acetyl Histone H4K16 Quantification Kit (Fluorometric) is suitable for specifically measuring histone H4K16 acetylation using a variety of mammalian cells (human, mouse, etc.) including fresh and frozen tissues, and cultured adherent and suspension cells.

Features & Benefits:  Quick and efficient procedure, which can be finished within 2.5 hours.Innovative fluorometric assay without the need for radioactivity, electrophoresis, or chromatography.Specifically captures acetyl H4K16 with the detection limit as low as 0.4 ng/well and detection range from 20 ng-5 µg/well of histone extracts.The control is conveniently included for the quantification of the amount of acetyl H4K16.Strip microplate format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput.Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions.
Detection Method:  Fluorometric
Sample Types:  Histone Extract
Storage:  Upon receipt: (1) Store F4 and Standard Control at –20°C; (2) Store all other components at 4°C away from light. The components of the kit are stable for 6 months from the date of shipment, when stored properly.Note: Check if buffers F1 and F2 contain salt precipitates before using. If so, warm (at room temperature or 37°C) and shake the buffers until the salts are redissolved.
