HDAC6

HDAC6 is an enzyme (a type of protein) that helps regulate how cells function by removing chemical groups called acetyl groups from other proteins. This process influences how proteins fold, move, and interact within cells, affecting cell health, movement, and responses to stress. HDAC6 is involved in various biological processes, including the breakdown of damaged proteins and cell transport mechanisms. Because of its roles, HDAC6 is a focus of research for developing treatments for diseases like cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammation.
