Description
HDAC6 or Histone deacetylase 6 belongs to the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family and is a component of the histone deacetylase complex.Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class II of the histone deacetylase family that regulates important biologic processes beyond histone metabolism and gene transcription. HDAC6 is a central component of the stress response that regulates SG formation and potentially contributes to control of RNA metabolism and translation
