Additional Information Regarding the Antigen

Gene	HDAC8
Protein	Histone deacetylase 8(HD8)
Uniprot ID	Q9BY41
Function	Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. Also involved in the deacetylation of cohesin complex protein SMC3 regulating release of cohesin complexes from chromatin. May play a role in smooth muscle cell contractility.
Tissue Specificity	Weakly expressed in most tissues. Expressed at higher level in heart, brain, kidney and pancreas and also in liver, lung, placenta, prostate and kidney.
Sub-cellular localization	Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: Excluded from the nucleoli. Found in the cytoplasm of cells showing smooth muscle differentiation.
