Application

Rabbit Anti-HDAC2 antibody can be used for western blot (0.2-2.0µg/ml) and IHC (4-8µg/ml) applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2), or transcriptional regulator homolog RPD3 L1, is highly homologous to the yeast transcription factor RPD3 (reduced potassium dependency 3) gene. As in yeast, human HDA2 is likely to be involved in regulating chromatin structure during transcription. It has been implicated to associate with YY1, a mammalian zinc-finger transcription factor, which negatively regulates transcription by tethering RPD3 to DNA as a cofactor. This process is highly concerved from yeast to human.

General description

HDAC2 is a member of the deacetylase family that forms transcriptional repressor complexes. Studies have reported that HDAC2 negatively regulates synaptic plasticity, learning and memory functions. In colorectal carcinogenesis, loss of APC is known to induce HDAC2 expression.Rabbit Anti-HDAC2 recognizes bovine, human, canine, chicken, rat, and mouse HDAC2.
