Predicted to enable histone deacetylase activity and histone deacetylase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including homologous recombination; macromolecule deacylation; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within histone deacetylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of histone deacetylase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; immune system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HDAC10 (histone deacetylase 10).
