HDAC (Histone deacetylases) are a class of enzymes that remove acetyl groups (O=C-CH3) from an ε-N-acetyl lysine amino acid on ahistone, allowing the histones to wrap the DNA more tightly.This is significant because DNA is wrapped around histones and that acetylation and de-acetylation control how DNA is expressed. In contrast to histone acetyltransferase, it acts differently. Since non-histone proteins are also among their targets, HDAC proteins are now also referred to as lysine deacetylases (KDAC) in order to better reflect their mode of action. The histone deacetylases are members of the ancient protein superfamily known as the histone deacetylase superfamily, along with the acetylpolyamine amidohydrolases and the acetoin utilization proteins.
