Anti-HDAC6 antibody - N-terminal

Target data

Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) (PubMed : 10220385). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events (PubMed : 10220385). Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes (PubMed : 10220385). In addition to histones, deacetylates other proteins, such as CTTN, tubulin and SQSTM1 (PubMed : 12024216, PubMed : 20308065, PubMed : 26246421, PubMed : 30538141, PubMed : 31857589). Plays a central role in microtubule-dependent cell motility by mediating deacetylation of tubulin (PubMed : 12024216, PubMed : 20308065, PubMed : 26246421). Required for cilia disassembly; via deacetylation of alpha-tubulin (PubMed : 17604723, PubMed : 26246421). Promotes deacetylation of CTTN, leading to actin polymerization, promotion of autophagosome-lysosome fusion and completion of autophagy (PubMed : 30538141). Involved in the MTA1-mediated epigenetic regulation of ESR1 expression in breast cancer (PubMed : 24413532). Promotes odontoblast differentiation following IPO7-mediated nuclear import and subsequent repression of RUNX2 expression (By similarity). In addition to its protein deacetylase activity, plays a key role in the degradation of misfolded proteins : when misfolded proteins are too abundant to be degraded by the chaperone refolding system and the ubiquitin-proteasome, mediates the transport of misfolded proteins to a cytoplasmic juxtanuclear structure called aggresome (PubMed : 17846173). Probably acts as an adapter that recognizes polyubiquitinated misfolded proteins and target them to the aggresome, facilitating their clearance by autophagy (PubMed : 17846173).
