Anti-HDAC7 Antibody

100 kDa

Histone deacetylases (HDAC) are enzymes that regulates transcription by selectively deacetylating the eta-amino groups of lysines located near the amino termini of core histone proteins. Eight members of the HDAC family have been identified, divided in to two classes. Class I includes HDAC-1, 2, 3 and 8 while Class II includes HDAC-4, 5, 6, and 7. Human HDAC7 is composed of 912 amino acid residues. Although HDAC7 is localized mostly to the cell nucleus, it is also found in the cytoplasm, suggesting nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling. The histone deacetylase activity of HDAC7 maps to a C-terminal domain and is dependent on interaction with class I HDACs in the nucleus. It is an active component of different transcriptional co-repressor complexes that can be recruited to specific promoter regions via interactions with transcription factors. HDAC7 catalyzes removal of acetyl-groups from acetyl-lysines of histones, resulting in a tighter DNA-histone interaction. This compaction of chromatin leads to the repression of transcription of DNA in that region.
