Revvity HTRF EPIgeneous Human and Mouse Pan-Acetyl Histone H4 cellular Detection Kit, 500 assay points

Histone 4 is one of the core histone proteins involved - along with other histones - in the packaging of DNA into a condensed chromatin state. Histone H4 function is dependent on its acetylation state (1 acetyl group per lysine) at several sites (Lys5, Lys8, Lys12, and Lys16) on the N-terminal tail. The mis-regulation of histone acetylation is closely associated with cancer initiation and progression, making histone acetylase and deacetylase enzymes promising drug targets.

HTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:

• Homogeneous add-and-read format
• No wash steps
• Low background
• Straightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates
• Stable signal, providing flexibility in readout time or size of assays
