Hdac5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; transcription corepressor activity; and transcription corepressor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to fluid shear stress; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of myotube differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of myotube differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; chromatin; and nuclear body. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription repressor complex. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; head bone; sensory organ; and upper arm. Orthologous to human HDAC5 (histone deacetylase 5).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hdac5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
