Assays & Kits

The Fluorogenic HDAC Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure histone deacetylase (HDAC) class 1 activity for screening and profiling applications. The kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent HDAC activity measurements. In addition, the kit includes purified HDAC2 enzyme and a potent HDAC inhibitor, Trichostatin A, for use as a positive and negative control. The Fluorogenic HDAC Assay Kit is based on a unique fluorogenic substrate and developer combination. This assay method eliminates dealing with the radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography aspects of traditional assays. Using this kit, only two simple steps on a microtiter plate are needed to analyze the HDAC activity level. First, the HDAC fluorometric substrate, containing an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with purified HDAC enzyme. The deacetylation sensitizes the substrate so subsequent treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a fluorophor

A fluorogenic, acetylated peptide substrate for class I HDACs (HDACs 1, 2, and 3) and class 2b HDACs (HDACs 6 and 10). This substrate fluoresces at excitation 350-380 nm, emission at 440-460 nm. If autofluorescence of the inhibitor near this wavelength is an issue, we recommend using Fluorogenic HDAC substrate 2 (green), BPS catalog #50038. For class 2a HDACs (HDACs 4, 5, 7, and 9) or HDACs 8 and 11, we recommend #50040.

A fluorogenic, acetylated peptide substrate for HDACs. It is a suitable substrate for class I HDACs (HDACs 1, 2, and 3) and class 2b HDACs (HDACs 6 and 10). This substrate exhibits longer excitation and emission wavelengths (excitation 485 nm, emission 528 nm) than our regular class 1/2b HDAC substrate, #50037, which fluoresces at excitation 350-380 nm, emission at 440-460 nm. This substrate should be used when the inhibitor fluoresces near 450 nm. If autofluorescence is not an issue, we recommend HDAC substrate 3, #50037. For autofluorescent samples using HDACs 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 11, we recommend substrate #50042.

A fluorogenic, acetylated peptide substrate for class2a HDACs (HDACs 4, 5, 7, and 9). It also works well for HDACs 8 and 11. This substrate fluoresces at excitation 350-380 nm, emission at 440-460 nm. If autofluorescence of the inhibitor near this wavelength is an issue, we recommend using Fluorogenic HDAC class 2a substrate 2 (green), BPS catalog #50042. For HDACs 1-3 ,6, and 10, we recommend substrate #50037.
