Abstract
There are eleven zinc dependent histone deacetylases (HDAC) in humans which have histones and many non-histone substrates. The substrates of these enzymes include proteins that have a role in regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell death, immune pathways and angiogenesis. Inhibitors of HDACs (HDACi) have been developed which alter the structure and function of these proteins, causing molecular and cellular changes that induce transformed cell death. The HDACi are being developed as anti-cancer drugs and have therapeutic potential for many non-oncologic diseases.Entities:
