The antibody detects endogenous level of HDAC8 only when phosphorylated at serine 39.
Purification
Affinity purified
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pSer39 (R-A-S (p) -M-V) derived from Human HDAC8. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.
Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by HDAC8 gene belongs to class I of the histone deacetylase family. It catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
