New HDAC Enzymes
5 new recombinant HDAC enzymes, active and suitable for inhibitor screening and activity assays

HDAC deacetylation of chromatin

HDAC1 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-456)
Overexpressed in multiple tumor types and shown to deacetylate p53
HDAC2 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-500)
Required for the cardiac hypertrophic response suggesting inhibition of HDAC2 as a possible therapeutic approach for heart disease
HDAC3 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-507)
Inhibition of HDAC3 may be the determining factor in the anti-proliferative effects of HDAC inhibitors on cancer cells
HDAC3/NCOR (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-515)
HDAC3/NCOR complex displays ~100-fold higher deacetylase activity than isolated HDAC3
HDAC6 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-508)
A tubulin deacetylase, HDAC6 promotes autophagic clearing of huntingtin aggregates, slows HIV1 infection, and promotes invasive motility in tumor cells
HDAC8 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-145)
siRNA-knockdown of HDAC8 expression inhibits the growth of several human tumor cell lines, suggesting that HDAC8 activity may be significant in the pathogenesis of solid as well as hematologic tumors

Deacetylase Assays

BIOMOL has developed the Fluor de Lys(TM) Deacetylase Assay, a versatile nonradioactive assay for measuring HDAC and sirtuin activity. The assay is compatible with all three classes of HDACs (class I, class II and sirtuins), and a variety of compatible substrates are available based on acetylated sites found in p53 and histones.

General assays
Suitable for measuring activity from extracts, immunoprecipitates, recombinant enzymes or whole cells.
Drug Discovery Assays
Designed for inhibitor screening of the enzyme supplied
HDAC Fluorimetric Assay (Cat. # AK-500) HDAC8 Drug Discovery Assay (Cat. # AK-518)
HDAC Colorimetric Assay (Cat. # AK-501) SIRT1 Drug Discovery Assay (Cat. # AK-555)
HDAC Cellular Assay (Cat. # AK-503) SIRT2 Drug Discovery Assay (Cat. # AK-556)
  SIRT3 Drug Discovery Assay (Cat. # AK-557)

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (Ahr), rabbit pAb (Cat. # SA-550)
Species reactibity: mouse, rat; Applications: WB, IP, ChIP

Anti-Ahr
Western blot analysis of mouse liver extract using the Ahr pAb
Lipid Signaling and Biosynthesis

Simvastatin (Cat. # G-244)
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. Inhibits the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and cholesterol and prevents small G protein activation

Simvastatin

Cilastatin sodium (Cat. # PI-153)
Inhibits the conversion of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4

Cilastatin sodium

PD-146176 (Cat. # EI-356)
A potent and selective 15-lipoxygenase inhibitor which lacks significant nonspecific antioxidant properties

PD-146176

WEB-2086 (Cat. # L-137)
The classic PAF receptor antagonist. It inhibits PAF-induced human platelet and neutrophil aggregation in vitro (IC50=0.17 and 0.36 microM respectively). In vivo  WEB-2086 dose dependently inhibits PAF-induced bronchoconstriction, hypotension and lethality

WEB-2086

MEK1 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-509)
A dual-specificity kinase that activates ERK1/2 in response to extracellular and intracellular signals
RAF1 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-506)
RAF1 functions downstream from the Ras family of GTPases and phosphorylates MEK1 and MEK2
p38 (human, recombinant) (Cat. # SE-499)
A member of the MAP kinase family (MAPK14) and is activated by environmental stresses and some pro-inflammatory cytokines.
