Antibodies that selectively bind HDAC9
The present invention features, inter alia, purified antibodies that selectively bind an isolated or recombinant histone deacetylase polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, which comprises a histone deacetylase catalytic domain at amino acids 635 to 953 of SEQ ID NO: 2, purified antibodies that selectively bind a biologically active fragment of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2, which fragment exhibits histone deacetylase activity, transcription repression activity, and the ability to deacetylate cellular substrates, purified antibodies that selectively bind an isolated or recombinant histone deacetylase polypeptide encoded by a nucleotide sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, purified antibodies that selectively bind an isolated or recombinant histone deacetylase polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2 lacking a nuclear localization signal, and purified antibodies that selectively bind an isolated or recombinant histone deacetylase polypeptide having at least 95% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 2 and which exhibits histone deacetylase activity, transcription repression activity, and the ability to deacetylate cellular substrates.
