About HDAC8

Primary_assembly X: 67,385,289-67,592,923 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026994.1

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 19 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 26.7), Brain (RPKM 23.8) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables chromatin binding activity and deacetylase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to organic cyclic compound; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Located in nucleus. Biomarker of amphetamine abuse; hypertension; and renovascular hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cornelia de Lange syndrome 5 and Wilson-Turner syndrome. Orthologous to human HDAC8 (histone deacetylase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
