Product Specifications

Background

Trichostatin A is an antifungal and selectively inhibits the class I and II mammalian histon deacetlyase families of enzymes (1). TSA inhibits the eukayotic cell cycle during the beginning of the growth stage. It can be used to alter gene expression but interfering with the removal of acetyl groups thereby altering the ability of DNA transcription factors to access the DNA inside chromatin (2). It also has anti-cancer properties (3).
