Histone Deacetylase 7 (HDAC7)

Target
HDAC7
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Histone modification
01

Overview

Histone deacetylase 7 (HDAC7) is a member of the class IIa histone deacetylases, functioning as both a lysine deacetylase and scaffolding protein. It plays crucial roles in signal transduction and gene regulation, impacting numerous cellular and developmental processes. In the nucleus, it generally inhibits gene expression by promoting chromatin condensation through histone deacetylation. Dysregulated expression/function of HDAC7 has been associated with autoimmune diseases and various cancers.
