General description

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a large family of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histone proteins. Site specific histone acetylation and deacetylation have been shown to activate or repress eukaryotic gene transcription, respectively, and as a consequence, it plays a crucial role in mammalian development and disease. HDACs are involved in important biological activities, such as cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and senescence.

With Sigma′s HDAC3 Activity Assay Kit, HDAC3 present in a test sample will act with the supplied Developer, to deacetylate and then cleave the HDAC3 Substrate [R-H-K-K(Ac)-AFC]. This activity will release the quenched fluorescent group, AFC, which can be detected at Em/Ex = 380/500 nm. Trichostatin A is an HDAC inhibitor included in the kit to verify HDAC3 activity. The kit provides a rapid, simple, sensitive and reliable test. It is suitable for either individual tests or high throughput assays, from nuclear extracts, purified, or immunoprecipitated HDAC3, and from native, recombinant, or genetically modified HDAC3.

Features and Benefits

  • Simple, sensitive, and reliable assay
  • Simple procedure; takes ~60 min
  • Utilizes fluorometric methods
  • Sample type: cell and tissue lysates, plasma and serum, other biological fluids
  • Species reactivity: mammalian
  • Suitable for individual tests or high throughput assays and kinetic studies
  • Convenient 96-well microplate format
  • Suitable for high throughput measurement of HDAC3 activity in purified, immunoprecipitated and recombinant or genetically modified HDAC3 samples

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of age-related dementia. Neuropathological hallmarks of AD include brain deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and accumulation of both hyperphosphorylated and acetylated tau.

Aberrant regulation of histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) contributes to malignant progression in various cancers, but the underlying mechanism leading to the activation of oncogenic HDAC2 remains unknown. In this study, we show that HDAC2 expression is upregulated in a large

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play diverse roles in many diseases including cancer, sarcopenia, and Alzheimer's. Different isoforms of HDACs appear to play disparate roles in the cell and are associated with specific diseases; as such, a substantial effort has been made

Traumatic events generate some of the most enduring forms of memories. Despite the elevated lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders, effective strategies to attenuate long-term traumatic memories are scarce. The most efficacious treatments to diminish recent (i.e., day-old) traumata capitalize on memory updating

Besides its direct metabolic effects, insulin induces transcriptional alterations in its target tissues. However, whether such changes are accompanied by epigenetic changes on the chromatin template encompassing insulin responsive genes is unclear. Here, mRNA levels of insulin-responsive genes hexokinase 2
