Description
Tubacin is a highly potent and selective, reversible, cell-permeable HDAC6 inhibitor. Tubacin does not inhibit HDAC6 histone deacetylase activity; instead, tubacin is specific for the tubulin deacetylase activity of HDAC6. It reversibly inhibits α-tubulin deacetylation in mammalian cells and increases α-tubulin acetylation levels with no effect on histone acetylation or cell cycle progression
