Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) have critical roles in cellular functions and are involved in the regulation of gene transcription, differentiation, and proliferation. The HAT Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit offers a convenient, non-radioactive system for a rapid and sensitive detection of HAT activity in mammalian samples. The kit includes an active Nuclear Extract (NE) to be used as a positive control, HAT cofactor, acetyl-CoA, and all downstream cofactors and substrates. Acetylation of a peptide substrate by active HAT releases the free form of CoA, which then serves as an essential coenzyme for producing NADH. NADH can easily be detected spectrophotometrically upon reacting with a soluble tetrazolium dye. The detection can be continuous, and therefore, is suitable for kinetic studies. The kit provides all reagents and a simple, straightforward protocol for a complete assay.

Cardiovascular function exhibits circadian oscillation. Furthermore, the onset time and severity of cardiovascular diseases exhibit diurnal variation. The internal circadian clock whose center exists in the suprachiasmatic nucleus regulates this circadian variation. Many studies have reported that night shift workers

Aging alters a broad spectrum of physiological, endocrine, and behavioral rhythms, and the close relationship between age-associated disease and disrupted circadian rhythms has been shown. Circadian rhythms are regulated by a set of clock genes and mutations in clock genes
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced in large quantities by the gut microbiome and contribute to a wide array of physiological processes. While the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown, many effects of SCFAs have been traced
Age-associated neurodegenerative disorders demonstrating tau-laden intracellular inclusions are known as tauopathies. We previously linked a loss-of-function mutation in the TSC1 gene to tau accumulation and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Now, we have identified genetic variants in TSC1 that decrease TSC1/hamartin levels
We describe a simple method for the determination of heme protein reduction potentials. We use the method to determine the reduction potentials for the PAS-A domains of the regulatory heme proteins human NPAS2 (Em=-115 mV ± 2 mV, pH 7.0)
