What Does TSA Stand For?
TSA stands for Trichostatin A
Trichostatin A (TSA) is a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor that plays a critical role in epigenetic regulation. Derived from the bacterium Streptomyces sp., TSA is widely used in research to study gene expression, cell cycle regulation, and the mechanisms of cancer therapy. Its ability to induce acetylation of histones leads to the activation of transcriptionally silent genes, making it a valuable tool in understanding the dynamics of chromatin remodeling and its implications in various biological processes.
