Histone deacetylase 9

Also known as: HDAC7, HDAC7B, HDAC9, HDRP, KIAA0744, MITR

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. Represses MEF2-dependent transcription.
