多亚基复合物催化的组蛋白乙酰化和脱乙酰化在调节真核基因表达中起关键作用。 该基因编码的蛋白质属于组蛋白脱乙酰基酶/ acuc / apha家族，是组蛋白脱乙酰基酶复合物的组成部分。 它还与视网膜母细胞瘤肿瘤抑制蛋白相互作用，这种复合物是控制细胞增殖和分化的关键因素。 它与转移相关蛋白2一起使p53脱乙酰化，并调节其对细胞生长和凋亡的影响。 [由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
Histone acetylation and deacetylation, catalyzed by multisubunit complexes, play a key role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family and is a component of the histone deacetylase complex. It also interacts with retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor protein and this complex is a key element in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. Together with metastasis-associated protein-2, it deacetylates p53 and modulates its effect on cell growth and apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
