Histone deacetylases as targets for the treatment of human neurodegenerative diseases
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a family of proteins that play an important role in regulating transcription as well as the function of a variety of cellular proteins. While these proteins are expressed abundantly in the brain, little is known about their roles in brain function. A growing body of evidence suggests that HDACs regulate neuronal survival. Results from studies conducted in vertebrate and mammalian...
