Inhibition of Histone Deacetylases: A Pharmacological Approach to the Treatment of Non-Cancer Disorders
1 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of gene expression are regulated by histone acetylases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) that control the acetylation state of lysine side chains of the histone proteins of chromatin. The catalytic activity of these two enzymes remodels chromatin to control gene expression without altering gene sequence. Treatment of cancer has been the primary target for the clinical development of HDAC...
