Catalog No. ABIN196930

This Rabbit Polyclonal antibody specifically detects HDAC4 in WB. It exhibits reactivity toward Human.

Quick Overview for HDAC4 antibody (pSer632) (ABIN196930)

Target: HDAC4 (Histone Deacetylase 4 (HDAC4))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This HDAC4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB)

Product Details anti-HDAC4 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer632

Specificity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site. HDAC4 (phospho-Ser632) antibody detects endogenous levels of HDAC4 only when phosphorylated at serine 632.

Purification: Immunoaffinity chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human HDAC4 around the phosphorylation site of serine 632 (A-Q-Sp-S-P).

Target Details for HDAC4

Target: HDAC4 (Histone Deacetylase 4 (HDAC4))

Alternative Name: HDAC4

Background: Chromatin is a highly specialized structure composed of tightly compacted chromosomal DNA. Gene expression within the nucleus is controlled, in part, by a host of protein complexes which continuously pack and unpack the chromosomal DNA. One of the known mechanisms of this packing and unpacking process involves the acetylation and deacetylation of the histone proteins comprising the nucleosomal core. Acetylated histone proteins confer accessibility of the DNA template to the transcriptional machinery for expression. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are chromatin remodeling factors that deacetylate histone proteins and thus, may act as transcriptional repressors. HDACs are classified by their sequence homology to the yeast HDACs and there are currently 2 classes. Class I proteins are related to Rpd3 and members of class II resemble Hda1p. HDAC4 is a class II histone deacetylase containing 1084 amino acid residues. HDAC4 has been shown to interact with NCoR. HDAC4 is a member of the class II mammalian histone deacetylases, which consists of 1084 amino acid residues. Its C terminal sequence is highly similar to the deacetylase domain of yeast HDA1. HDAC4, unlike other deacetylases, shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm in a process involving active nuclear export. Association of HDAC4 with 14-3-3 results in sequestration of HDAC 4 protein in the cytoplasm. In the nucleus, HDAC4 associates with the myocyte enhancer factor MEF2A. Binding of HDAC4 to MEF2A results in the repression of MEF2A transcriptional activation. HDAC4 has also been shown to interact with other deacetylases such as HDAC3 as well as the corepressors NcoR and SMART.Synonyms: HD4, Histone deacetylase 4, KIAA0288
