Hdac5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; response to activity; and response to cocaine. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; depressive disorder; middle cerebral artery infarction; pulmonary hypertension; and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human HDAC5 (histone deacetylase 5). [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 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.
