HDAC11 antibody (pAb)

Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
WB: 1 - 3 µg/ml dilution

For optimal results, primary antibody incubations should be performed at room temperature. The addition of 0.1% Tween 20 to all blocking solutions may also reduce background. Individual optimization may be required.

Immunogen

This HDAC11 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 238-251 of human HDAC11.

Buffer

PBS containing 0.2% gelatin and 0.05% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

Background

HDAC11 (Histone Deacetylase 11) is a member of the class IV mammalian histone deacetylases (HDACs) involved in regulating chromatin structure during transcription. These enzymes catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues of histones and other cellular proteins. Lysine N-ε-acetylation is a dynamic, reversible and tightly regulated protein and histone modification that plays a major role in regulation of gene expression in various cellular functions. It consists of the transfer of an acetyl moiety from an acetyl coenzyme A to the ε-amino group of a lysine residue.

In vivo, acetylation is controlled by the antagonistic activities of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). The HDACs are grouped into four classes, on the basis of similarity to yeast counterparts: HDAC class I (HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8), class II (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, 9 and 10), class III (SIRT1-7) and class IV (HDAC11). In humans, expression of HDAC11 is limited to only a few organs, including brain, heart, muscle and kidney, suggesting an important role of HDAC11 in those tissues.

Storage
