Gene: HDAC8
Alternate names for this Gene: CDA07|CDLS5|HD8|HDACL1|KDAC8|MRXS6|RPD3|WTS
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: X
Location in Chromosome : Xq13.1
Description of this Gene: histone deacetylase 8
Type of Gene: protein-coding
