HDAC8
Encyclopedia
Histone deacetylase 8 is an enzyme
that in humans is encoded by the HDAC8 gene
, and is biologically involved in skull morphogenesis and metabolic control of the ERR-alpha/PGC1-alpha
transcriptional complex.
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...
