HDAC6, EnkiLife, AMRe87545

Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity; protein deacetylase activity; and ubiquitin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; protein deacetylation; and protein destabilization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including aggresome assembly; cellular protein metabolic process; and neuron projection morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; microtubule cytoskeleton; and perikaryon. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; future midbrain; gut gland; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chondrodysplasia with platyspondyly, distinctive brachydactyly, hydrocephaly, and microphthalmia. Orthologous to human HDAC6 (histone deacetylase 6).
