NCIt definition : Human HDAC3 wild-type allele is located within 5q31 and is approximately 16 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes histone deacetylase 3 protein, plays a role in
the both the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal region of the core
histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) and the binding of transcription factor YY1. Deregulation
of HDAC3 gene expression is associated with colon cancer.;
