May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Recognizes proteins post-translationally modified by acetylation on the epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues. Recognizes acetylated lysine in a wide range of sequence contexts. It has been demonstrated to recognize acetylated histones, p53, CBP, PCAF and chemically acetylated BSA. Has been shown to react with as little as 0.04ng of chemically acetylated BSA while not recognizing up to 25ug of nonacetylated BSA.
