Observations
The expression patterns of HDAC4 and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1; the mammalian homolog of Sir2) were positively correlated during cellular senescence. Moreover, overexpression of HDAC4 delayed senescence, whereas knockdown of HDAC4 led to premature senescence in human fibroblasts.

    Description
    Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class II of the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family. It possesses histone deacetylase activity and represses transcription when tethered to a promoter. This protein does not bind DNA directly, but through transcription factors MEF2C and MEF2D. It seems to interact in a multiprotein complex with RbAp48 and HDAC3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
