Gene information for HDAC6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10013
Official gene symbolHDAC6
Full namehistone deacetylase 6
Aliases,FLJ16239,HD6,JM21,
Gene summaryHistones 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.
