Product details
HDAC Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) ab1432 provides a fast and convenient colorimetric method that eliminates radioactivity, extractions, or chromatography, as used in the traditional assays. The new method requires only two easy steps, both performed on the same microtiter plate. First, the HDAC colorimetric substrate, which comprises an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with a sample containing HDAC activity (e.g., HeLa nuclear extract or your own samples). Deacetylation of the substrate sensitizes the substrate, so that, in the second step, treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a chromophore. The chromophore can be easily analyzed using an ELISA plate reader or spectrophotometer. The assay is well suited for high throughput screening applications.
Inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) has been implicated in the modulation of transcription and the induction of apoptosis or differentiation in cancer cells. However, screening HDAC inhibitory compounds has proven to be difficult over the past due to the lack of convenient tools for analyzing HDAC activity.
Other Notes
This product was previously called K331 HDAC Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit. Biovision was acquired by Abcam in 2021.
Read the entire protocol (attached to the datasheet) before beginning the procedure.
The HeLa extract should be refrozen immediately at -20 or -70°C after each use to avoid loss of activity. The Lysine Developer should be refrozen immediately at -20 or -70°C after each use or aliquotted for future use.
This kit contains enough reagents for about 100 tests. If positive and negative controls are included, the kit provides sufficient reagents for 5 positive control assays with the HeLa Nuclear Extract and 5 Negative Control assays with the HDAC Inhibitor, Trichostatin A.
The Safety Datasheet for this product has been updated for certain countries. Please check the current version in the Support and downloads section.

Biological function summary
HDACs play an important role in gene expression through the remodeling of chromatin structure. They are often part of multiprotein complexes with co-repressor proteins helping modulate the transcription of genes involved in cell cycle regulation and differentiation. This modulation impacts cellular activities such as proliferation and apoptosis making HDACs significant in normal cellular function and development. HDAC inhibitors serve as tools for research in studying HDAC functions and as potential therapeutic agents.
Pathways
HDACs influence the regulation of important cellular pathways like the cell cycle and apoptosis. They interact with other proteins such as histone deacetylase inhibitor proteins and transcription factors to regulate gene expression tightly. In the cell cycle pathway HDACs can repress the transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors therefore promoting cell cycle progression. Their involvement in the apoptosis pathway is also important where they regulate pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic gene expression contributing to cellular homeostasis.
