The pan-specific anti-acetyl lysine mouse monoclonal antibody is developed using hybridoma technology, and affinity purified with acetyl-lysine agarose. It recognizes both free acetyl-lysine and acetyl-lysine residues in proteins/peptides.

DNA transcription cannot take place unless DNA is unwound from the nucleosomes. The cell unwinds the DNA by acetylating lysine residues within the proteins. It has been suggested that acetylation of non-histone proteins (e.g., transcription factors) and histones may be involved. Acetylation of these proteins may result in signal transduction within the chromatic domains.
