HDAC6 Fluorogenic Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-1742
• Product Overview: HDACs regulate cellular processes by catalyzing the hydrolysis of an acetyl group from acetyllysines in modified proteins. In the HDAC assay, fluorescent-dye molecules are attached to a peptide containing acetyllysine. Attachment to the peptide quenches the fluorescence of the dye. After treatment of the peptide with an HDAC, the reaction is mixed with a development solution that is specific for nonacetylated lysines. If the acetyl group has been removed from the lysine by the HDAC, this solution will release the dye allowing for fluorescence. Fluorescence is therefore directly related to HDAC activity.
