General description

Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) have critical roles in cellular functions and are involved in the regulation of gene transcription, differentiation, and proliferation. The HAT Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit offers a convenient, non-radioactive system for a rapid and sensitive detection of HAT activity in mammalian samples. The kit includes an active Nuclear Extract (NE) to be used as a positive control, HAT cofactor, acetyl-CoA, and all downstream cofactors and substrates. Acetylation of a peptide substrate by active HAT releases the free form of CoA, which then serves as an essential coenzyme for producing NADH. NADH can easily be detected spectrophotometrically upon reacting with a soluble tetrazolium dye. The detection can be continuous, and therefore, is suitable for kinetic studies. The kit provides all reagents and a simple, straightforward protocol for a complete assay.

Features and Benefits

  • Sensitive and reliable assay
  • Utilizes colorimetric methods
  • Sample type: cell and tissue lysates
  • Species reactivity: mammalian
  • Suitable for individual tests or high throughput assays and kinetic studies
  • Easy and simple procedure: combine nuclear extract or protein sample with reagents, incubate, and read absorbance
  • Convenient 96-well microplate format
  • Continuously measures HAT activity; suitable for kinetic studies
  • No HDAC interference; crude nuclear extract can be used directly

Storage Class Code

While mammalian mitochondria are known to possess a robust base excision repair system, direct evidence for the existence of additional mitochondrial DNA repair pathways is elusive. Herein a PCR-based assay was employed to demonstrate that plasmids containing DNA-protein crosslinks are

Several epidemiological studies have suggested that the perturbation of circadian rhythm has adverse metabolic consequences (e.g., dyslipidemia) in humans. At the molecular level, circadian rhythms are encoded by an autoregulatory loop composed of a set of transcription activators (BMAL1/CLOCK) that

IgE-mediated immediate-type allergic reactions in the skin show a diurnal rhythm, although the regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. In mammals, the circadian rhythms are driven by the circadian clock system consisting of the light-entrained central clock located in the suprachiasmatic
