About HDAC8

Cytogenetic location: Xq13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:72,329,516-72,572,843 (from NCBI)

This gene has 60 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 5 phenotypes.

Summary

Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class I of the histone deacetylase family. It catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
