HDAC3 (His-tag) human recombinant

Human recombinant HDAC3 (His-tag) produced in insect cells

Unlike other class I HDAC enzymes, HDAC3 is found in co-repressor complexes with the SMRT/N-CoR proteins. HDAC3 contains a unique domain structure which includes both nuclear localization and nuclear export sequences. HDAC3 has been implicated in cancer, as HDAC inhibitors produce anti-proliferative effects in various cancer cells. HDAC3 may also play a role in heart disease, which may involve deacetylation of MEF2.

HDAC deacetylase assays

Human recombinant HDAC3 (His-tag) produced in insect cells.

Research Category
Epigenetics & Nuclear Function

Specific Activity: 1U = 1 pmol/min at 37°C using a standard flourometric activity assay to measure deacetylation activity

Format: Purified

In liquid containing 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 138 mM NaCl and 10% glycerol. Frozen solution.

Store at -80°C. The enzyme is stable on ice for 30 to 60 min, but may lose activity with dilution and/or prolonged storage on ice. It is recommended that thawing and addition of the enzyme to assay wells be done within as short a time as possible before start of the assay and that the thawed enzyme be kept on ice throughout. Best performance will be obtained by adding the chilled, undiluted enzyme directly to pre-warmed buffer and proceeding immediately to the addition of pre-warmed substrate. The remaining, unused enzyme should be refrozen quickly by, for example, snap freezing in a dry/ice ethanol bath or liquid nitrogen. The enzyme is stable to at least 4 freeze/thaw cycles. To minimize the number of freeze/thaw cycles, aliquot the HDAC3 into separate tubes before storing at -80°C.
