Q8WUI4

HDAC7(Histone deacetylase 7) is a member of the histone deacetylase family. HDAC7 plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression through function as a histone deacetylase, which removes acetyl groups from lysine residues on histones, leading to chromatin condensation and transcriptional repression. This process is vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating developmental processes, as aberrant histone acetylation can result in uncontrolled gene expression and contribute to various diseases, including cancer. Additionally, HDAC7 interacts with several transcriptional co-repressors, such as mSin3A, which further underscores importance in the formation of transcriptional repression complexes.
