What Human Histone H4 is studied for

  • HAT / HDAC / HMT / KDM activity assays
  • Bromodomain and chromodomain binding studies
  • Epigenetic inhibitor screening
  • Chromatin-mark specificity profiling

Mechanism of action

Human Histone H4 sits within the Histone / Epigenetic research class (CPC reference HIST-002). These peptides carry defined post-translational modifications (methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation) at N-terminal histone tail residues, allowing biochemical characterization of writers (HMTs, HATs), erasers (KDMs, HDACs), and readers (bromodomains, chromodomains). Investigators typically incorporate Human Histone H4 as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. SPR / BLI binding, AlphaScreen, TR-FRET, and MS-based activity assays.

Frequently asked questions

What is Human Histone H4?

Human Histone H4 (CPC catalog code HIST-002) is a synthetic histone / epigenetic reader-writer substrate in the histone / epigenetic category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Human Histone H4 studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Human Histone H4 as a reference standard in histone / epigenetic workflows — for example, hat / hdac / hmt / kdm activity assays and bromodomain and chromodomain binding studies. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Human Histone H4 FDA-approved for human use?

No. Human Histone H4 is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Human Histone H4 typically used in the lab?

In a histone / epigenetic workflow, Human Histone H4 is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. SPR / BLI binding, AlphaScreen, TR-FRET, and MS-based activity assays.

How should Human Histone H4 be stored?

Store lyophilized at −20 °C. Reconstitute in low-salt buffer; avoid repeated freeze–thaw. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Human Histone H4 product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for HIST-002. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

What quality specifications apply to Human Histone H4?

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
