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 the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family. It has histone deacetylase activity and represses transcription when tethered to a promoter. It may participate in the regulation of transcription through its binding with the zinc-finger transcription factor YY1. This protein can also down-regulate p53 function and thus modulate cell growth and apoptosis. This gene is regarded as a potential tumor suppressor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in newborn rats demonstrated that the HDAC3 was mentioned in the discussion as a potential factor mediating proinflammatory microglial proliferation, warranting further exploration in the context of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy [Chen et al. DOI:10.1096/fj.202402891RR].
