HDAC8 (Histone deacetylase 8) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Multiple myeloma. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Histone deacetylase that catalyses 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. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. Also involved in the deacetylation of cohesin complex protein SMC3 regulating release of cohesin complexes from chromatin. May play a role in smooth muscle cell contractility. In addition to protein deacetylase activity, also has protein-lysine deacylase activity: acts as a protein decrotonylase by mediating decrotonylation ((2E)-butenoyl) of histones. Location: Nucleus; Chromosome; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus Xq13.1 (HGNC).
