Histone deacetylase (HDAC)

Definition:

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is a major class of deacetylation enzymes. HDAC catalyzes the removal of acetyl functional groups from the lysine residues of both histone and nonhistone proteins. Many HDACs exist in large protein complexes in cells and their functions strongly depend on the complex composition.
