Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylases (HDACs) are two classes of enzymes that catalyze reversible histone acetylation. Identifying and determining the distribution of HAT or HDAC activities can further our knowledge of cellular regulation and response. EpiGentek offers several ready-to-use kits that measure histone acetyltransferase or histone deacetylases levels quickly and safely.

About Histone Acetylation and Deacetylation
The balance between protein acetylation and deacetylation regulates several physiological and pathological cellular processes, and the enzymes involved in the maintenance of this equilibrium -- histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) -- have been widely studied. Presently, the evidence obtained in this field suggests that the dynamic acetylation equilibrium is primarily maintained through the physical and functional exchange between HAT and HDAC activities.
