MeSH Heading: Histone Deacetylase 6
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.087.520.350
Unique ID: D000073864
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000073864
Scope Note: A class II histone deacetylase that removes acetyl groups from N-terminal LYSINES of HISTONE H2A; HISTONE H2B; HISTONE H3; and HISTONE H4. It plays a critical role in EPIGENETIC REPRESSION and regulation of GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION, as well as CELL MOTILITY through deacetylation of TUBULIN. It also targets misfolded proteins for clearance by AUTOPHAGY when MOLECULAR CHAPERONE-mediated folding is overwhelmed.
