Anti-Histone Deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) (NA-16) antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Histone Deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) belongs to the class IIa HDAC family. The localization of HDAC5 is both nuclear and cytoplasmic. HDAC5 gene is mapped to human chromosome at 17q21.31.

Specificity

Anti-Histone Deacetylase 5 (HDAC5)(NA-16) recognizes human, rat, and mouse HDAC5.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 384-399 of human HDAC5 with N-terminal added cysteine, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Histone Deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) shuttling to the cytoplasm occurs during myogenic differentiation, the nuclear export being stimulated by calcium/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) phosphorylation at Ser259 and Ser498. HDAC5 activity is important for the differentiation of muscle cells by binding, through its N-terminal domain, to the myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) protein, thus repressing expression of MEF2 downstream genes.Overexpression of HDAC5 in various cancer cells suppresses their growth by induction of apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. It also plays a key role in many biological processes including the synoviocyte activation, neural regeneration and repair. HDAC5 is highly expressed in breast cancer and contributes to tumor progression.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, and 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in frost-free freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
