Hdac4 - histone deacetylase 4

Enables promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; cellular response to parathyroid hormone stimulus; and positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly. Located in cytosol; nucleus; and sarcomere. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ataxia telangiectasia; chromosome 2q37 deletion syndrome; eating disorder; and retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human HDAC4 (histone deacetylase 4).
