NSC3852 (Cat No.:I010574) is a chemically distinct histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that possesses a unique Zn2+ chelation motif different from that of SAHA (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid). HDAC inhibitors are a class of compounds that target enzymes involved in the regulation of gene expression by removing acetyl groups from histone proteins, thus altering the chromatin structure and gene transcription. NSC3852’s unique Zn2+ chelation motif allows it to interact with HDAC enzymes, potentially influencing their activity and leading to changes in gene expression.
