Product details

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), is a class IIb HDAC enzyme that deacetylates a ε-N-acetyl lysine of histone and nonhistone protein substrates. It is a unique member of HDAC family as it contains two deacetylase domains that are proposed to function independent of each other. HDAC6 can shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm, suggesting potential extra-nuclear functions by regulating the acetylation status of non-histone substrates. HDAC6 also affects transcription and translation by regulating the heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and stress granules.

HDAC6 Activity Assay Kit (ab284549) (K466) utilizes deacetylase activity of HDAC6 towards a synthetic acetylated-peptide substrate resulting in the release of an AFC fluorophore, which can be easily quantified using a conventional microplate reader. This simple and high-throughput adaptable assay kit can be used to detect HDAC6 activity (as low as 3 U) in complex biological samples.

This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K466 HDAC6 Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric). K466-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab284549.

The Safety Datasheet for this product has been updated for certain countries. Please check the current version in the Support and downloads section.

HDAC6 or histone deacetylase 6 is a protein that primarily functions as a cytoplasmic deacetylase. It is part of the class IIb HDAC family and is known for its distinctive molecular weight of approximately 121 kDa. HDAC6 is expressed in various tissues with higher levels observed in the brain kidney and liver. This protein is unique as it contains two catalytic domains unlike other HDACs which contributes to its specific deacetylation of non-histone substrates including tubulin and Hsp90 influencing cell motility and stress response.
Biological function summary

HDAC6 plays a significant role in processes like protein degradation and cell signaling. It is an important component of the protein quality control system involving itself in the aggresome pathway where it facilitates the removal of misfolded proteins through interaction with dynein motor proteins. In addition to its presence in the cytoplasm HDAC6 influences cell migration and immune response regulation by de-phosphorylating cortactin and affecting actin filament dynamics. Its integral role in the aggresome-autophagy pathway positions it as important for cellular homeostasis maintenance.

Pathways

HDAC6 participates prominently in both autophagy and stress response pathways. In the autophagic process HDAC6 operates alongside ubiquitinated proteins to manage protein quality control. Moreover HDAC6 engages in stress response pathways like the heat shock response interacting directly with Hsp90 to regulate client protein activation. These pathways highlight HDAC6’s relationships with key proteins such as Hsp70 and tau linking it to cellular stress and neurodegeneration responses.

HDAC6 exhibits connections to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Dysregulated HDAC6 activity associates with Alzheimer's disease where it affects tau protein accumulation and degradation. The protein is also implicated in various cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer due to its influence on cell migration and invasion. It interacts with p53 impacting apoptosis and tumor progression making HDAC6 a potential target for therapeutic interventions with HDAC6 inhibitors which aim to restore normal cellular functions disrupted by abnormal HDAC6 activity.

Deacetylates a wide range of non-histone substrates (PubMed : 12024216, PubMed : 18606987, PubMed : 20308065, PubMed : 24882211, PubMed : 26246421, PubMed : 30538141, PubMed : 31857589, PubMed : 30770470, PubMed : 38534334, PubMed : 39567688). Plays a central role in microtubule-dependent cell motility by mediating deacetylation of tubulin (PubMed : 12024216, PubMed : 20308065, PubMed : 26246421). Required for cilia disassembly via deacetylation of alpha-tubulin (PubMed : 17604723, PubMed : 26246421). Alpha-tubulin deacetylation results in destabilization of dynamic microtubules (By similarity). Promotes deacetylation of CTTN, leading to actin polymerization, promotion of autophagosome-lysosome fusion and completion of autophagy (PubMed : 30538141). Deacetylates SQSTM1 (PubMed : 31857589). Deacetylates peroxiredoxins PRDX1 and PRDX2, decreasing their reducing activity (PubMed : 18606987). Deacetylates antiviral protein RIGI in the presence of viral mRNAs which is required for viral RNA detection by RIGI (By similarity). Sequentially deacetylates and polyubiquitinates DNA mismatch repair protein MSH2 which leads to MSH2 degradation, reducing cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and decreasing cellular DNA mismatch repair activities (PubMed : 24882211). Deacetylates DNA mismatch repair protein MLH1 which prevents recruitment of the MutL alpha complex (formed by the MLH1-PMS2 heterodimer) to the MutS alpha complex (formed by the MSH2-MSH6 heterodimer), leading to tolerance of DNA damage (PubMed : 30770470). Deacetylates RHOT1/MIRO1 which blocks mitochondrial transport and mediates axon growth inhibition (By similarity). Deacetylates transcription factor SP1 which leads to increased expression of ENG, positively regulating angiogenesis (PubMed : 38534334). Deacetylates KHDRBS1/SAM68 which regulates alternative splicing by inhibiting the inclusion of CD44 alternate exons (PubMed : 26080397). Deacetylates PRDM16 (By similarity). Acts as a valine sensor by binding to valine through the primate-specific SE14 repeat region (PubMed : 39567688). In valine deprivation conditions, translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where it deacetylates TET2 which promotes TET2-dependent DNA demethylation, leading to DNA damage (PubMed : 39567688). Promotes odontoblast differentiation following IPO7-mediated nuclear import and subsequent repression of RUNX2 expression (By similarity). In addition to its protein deacetylase activity, plays a key role in the degradation of misfolded proteins : when misfolded proteins are too abundant to be degraded by the chaperone refolding system and the ubiquitin-proteasome, mediates the transport of misfolded proteins to a cytoplasmic juxtanuclear structure called aggresome (PubMed : 17846173). Probably acts as an adapter that recognizes polyubiquitinated misfolded proteins and targets them to the aggresome, facilitating their clearance by autophagy (PubMed : 17846173). Involved in the MTA1-mediated epigenetic regulation of ESR1 expression in breast cancer (PubMed : 24413532).. (Microbial infection) Deacetylates the SARS-CoV-2 N protein which promotes association of the viral N protein with human G3BP1, leading to disruption of cellular stress granule formation and facilitating viral replication.
