Mouse anti-Lysine Acetylated monoclonal antibody for ELISA, WB, IC. Post-translational modifications of proteins play critical roles in the regulation and function of many known biological processes. A common posttranscriptional modification of lysine residues involves acetylation. The conserved amino-terminal domains of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) contain lysines that are acetylated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylated by histone deacetylases (HDACs). Protein posttranslational reversible lysine N?-acetylation and deacetylation have been recognized as an emerging intracellular signaling mechanism that plays critical roles in regulating gene transcription, cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, DNA repair, and cytoskeletal organization. The regulation of protein acetylation status is impaired in the pathologies of cancer and polyglutamine diseases. HDACs therefore are promising targets for anticancer drugs currently in development.
