Histone Deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) is an enzyme and class II HDAC responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation indicates epigenetic repression and is involved in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Mutations in HDAC expression are strongly associated with loss of tumor protection genes. HDAC mutations are associated with breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), lung cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer, and colorectal cancer.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Human and Mouse Phospho-HDAC5 (Ser259) Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of phospho-HDAC5 (Ser259) in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
