Anti-acetyl Histone H4 (Lys5/8/12/16) Antibody, clone 3HH4-4C10

Histone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H4 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the 'beads on a string' structure. Acetylation of histone H4 occurs at several different lysine positions in the histone tail and is performed by a family of enzymes known as Histone Acetyl Transferases (HATs). Posttranslational acetylation of the conserved core histone N-terminal tail domains is typically associated with gene activation.
