Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
• Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human HDAC6, different from the related mouse sequence by one amino acid.
• Molecular weight context: reported MW: 160 kDa; calculated MW: 131419 MW
• Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
• Applications: Flow Cytometry, IHC, WB

As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.

Biological background

Histone deacetylase 6; Histone deacetylase 6. HDAC6, also called KIAA0901, is a member belongs to class II of the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family of proteins that is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HDAC6 gene. The HDAC6 gene is mapped to chromosome Xp11.23. HDAC6 contains an internal duplication of two catalytic domains which appear to function independently of each other. The protein possesses histone deacetylase activity and represses transcription. HDAC6 functions as a tubulin deacetylase. And it is localized exclusively in the cytoplasm, where it associates with microtubules and localizes with the microtubule motor complex. HDAC6 could bind both polyubiquitinated misfolded proteins and dynein motors, thereby recruiting misfolded protein cargo to dynein motors for transport to aggresomes. Furthermore, expression of HDAC6 was sufficient to rescue degeneration associated with UPS dysfunction in vivo in an autophagy-dependent manner. HDAC6 is a central component of the stress response that regulates SG formation and potentially contributes to control of RNA metabolism and translation. Functional note: Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes (By similarity). Plays a central role in microtubule-dependent cell motility via deacetylation of tubulin. Involved in the MTA1-mediated epigenetic regulation of ESR1 expression in breast cancer. . Reported localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Perikaryon . Cell projection, dendrite . Cell projection, axon . It is mainly cytoplasmic, where it is associated with microtubules. Expression/tissue context: Liver.
