catalytic activity:Hydrolysis of an N(6)-acetyl-lysine residue of a histone to yield a deacetylated histone.,function:Responsible for 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.,similarity:Belongs to the histone deacetylase family. Type 2 subfamily.,subcellular location:Excluded from the nucleoli.,subunit:Interacts with HDAC2, HDAC3 and NCOR2.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. High expression in liver, spleen, pancreas and kidney.,
Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Excluded from nucleoli. .
Widely expressed with high levels in liver and kidney.
