Hdac6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; protein lysine deacetylase activity; and ubiquitin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of type 2 mitophagy; protein destabilization; and tubulin deacetylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including aggresome assembly; neuron projection morphogenesis; and protein modification process. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; microtubule cytoskeleton; and perikaryon. Part of cytoplasmic ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; gut gland; lung; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chondrodysplasia with platyspondyly, distinctive brachydactyly, hydrocephaly, and microphthalmia and polycystic liver disease 1. Orthologous to human HDAC6 (histone deacetylase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
