Hdac3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including chromatin binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and transcription corepressor binding activity. Contributes to histone deacetylase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; negative regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Biomarker of acute kidney failure and impotence. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human HDAC3 (histone deacetylase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Hdac3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
