Gene information for HDAC2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3066
Official gene symbolHDAC2
Full namehistone deacetylase 2
Aliases,HD2,RPD3,YAF1,
Gene summaryThis gene product belongs to the histone deacetylase family. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes, and are responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues at the N-terminal regions of core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). This protein forms transcriptional repressor complexes by associating with many different proteins, including YY1, a mammalian zinc-finger transcription factor. Thus, it plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
