HDAC7

HDAC7 (Histone Deacetylase 7) is an enzyme that plays a key role in gene regulation by modifying proteins called histones, which help package DNA in cells. By removing chemical groups called acetyl groups from histones, HDAC7 influences how tightly DNA is wound, thereby controlling whether specific genes are turned on or off. This process impacts cell behavior, development, and immune responses. HDAC7 is involved in various biological functions, and its activity is linked to health conditions such as cancer and immune disorders, making it a significant target for therapeutic research.
