Histone deacetylase 6 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

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 II of the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family. It contains an internal duplication of two catalytic domains which appear to function independently of each other. This protein possesses histone deacetylase activity and represses transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], catalytic activity:Hydrolysis of an N (6) -acetyl-lysine residue of a histone to yield a deacetylated histone., function:Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) . Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes (By similarity) . Plays a central role in microtubule-dependent cell motility via deacetylation of tubulin., PTM:Sumoylated in vitro., PTM:Ubiquitinated. Its polyubiquitination however does not lead to its degradation., similarity:Belongs to the histone deacetylase family. Type 2 subfamily., similarity:Contains 1 UBP-type zinc finger., subcellular location:It is mainly cytoplasmic, where it is associated with microtubules., subunit:Interacts with CBFA2T3, HDAC11 and SIRT2. Interacts with F-actin. Interacts with BBIP10.
