Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | BC050433 |
Synonym | HDACL1; RPD3 |
Background | HDAC8 or Histone deacetylase 8 belongs to the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family and is a component of the histone deacetylase complex. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class I of the histone deacetylase family that catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors (1). There are 2 adjacent histidine residues in the predicted active site (His142 and His143) that are required for HDAC activity on H4 peptide substrates and core histones (2). The knockdown of HDAC8 by RNA interference inhibited the growth of human lung, colon, and cervical cancer cell lines. |

Target Details
Target 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. Also involved in the deacetylation of cohesin complex protein SMC3 regulating release of cohesin complexes from chromatin. May play a role in smooth muscle cell contractility. |
Subcellular Location | Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Excluded from the nucleoli. Found in the cytoplasm of cells showing smooth muscle differentiation. |
Protein Families | Histone deacetylase family, HD type 1 subfamily |
