Activity summary

Histone deacetylase 7 (HDAC7) also known as HD7 or HD7A is a part of the class IIa histone deacetylases. It has a mass of approximately 103 kDa. HDAC7 plays a role in regulating gene expression by removing acetyl groups from lysine residues on histones leading to chromatin condensation and gene repression. This protein is expressed in various tissues including the heart skeletal muscle and T-cells where it influences diverse cellular processes.

Biological function summary

HDAC7 modulates transcription and affects cell differentiation and survival. It is a component of a larger protein complex working together with other proteins to influence transcription factor activity and chromatin architecture. It influences the expression of genes involved in immune responses as well as other critical cellular activities. By regulating these processes HDAC7 contributes to the balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Pathways

HDAC7 plays key roles in the Wnt signaling and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathways. It interacts with other proteins such as HDAC3 and the nuclear receptor co-repressor (N-CoR) affecting pathway components and influencing cellular outcomes. In the Wnt pathway HDAC7's activity modifies the transcription of target genes impacting cell fate decisions. During TCR signaling HDAC7 aids in the regulation of T-cell development and function working closely with transcriptional factors involved in these pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

HDAC7 has been associated with cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Its dysregulation can contribute to tumorigenesis through aberrant expression of genes controlling cell cycle and apoptosis. In cardiovascular disorders it impacts cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure due to its influence on heart-specific gene expression. HDAC7’s interaction with proteins like RUNX1 in T-cells can also contribute to the development of leukemia. These links highlight the importance of HDAC7 in both disease development and progression.
