Histone deacetylase 4, also known as HDAC4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HDAC4 gene. ^{[5] [6]}

Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class II of the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family. It possesses histone deacetylase activity and represses transcription when tethered to a promoter. This protein does not bind DNA directly but through transcription factors MEF2C and MEF2D. It seems to interact in a multiprotein complex with RbAp48 and HDAC3. ^[7] Furthermore, HDAC4 is required for TGFbeta1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation. ^[8]

Studies have shown that HDAC4 regulates bone and muscle development. Harvard University researchers also concluded that it promotes healthy vision: Reduced levels of the protein led to the death of the rod photoreceptors and bipolar cells in the retinas of mice. ^{[9] [10]}

HDAC4 has been shown to interact with:

• Histone deacetylase

• HDAC4+protein,+human at the U.S. National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)
