Introduction
KAT2A (GCN5L2 or GCN5) is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that primarily acts as a transcriptional activator. GCN5L2 is potentially involved in acetylation in vivo. Expressed mainly during embryonic and newborn stages, GCN5 is vital for normal embryonic development, suggesting its role in differentiating embryonic-derived preadipocytes. GCN5 also represses NF-kappa-B by promoting ubiquitination of the NF-kappa-B subunit RELA in a HAT-independent manner. Loss of GCN5L2 leads to increased apoptosis in KAT2A mutants, starting before any visible morphological abnormalities.
Formulation
1mg/ml in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.1% Sodium Azide.
Storage Procedures
Store at 4°C for up to 1 month. For longer storage, store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Stability / Shelf Life
Stable for 12 months at -20°C and 1 month at 4°C.
Applications
KAT2A antibody has been validated for specificity and reactivity through ELISA, Western blot, and Immunofluorescence analysis. However, optimal working dilutions should be determined empirically for each application. For Western blot and Immunofluorescence, a dilution range of 1:250 to 1:500 is recommended, with a starting dilution of 1:250.
