HDAC classification

Subtypes

Location

Function/role

Class I

HDAC1,

HDAC2,

HDAC3,

HDAC8

Nucleus

Participate in the regulation of histone deacetylation modification

Class II

IIAHDACs (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7, HDAC9)

Shuttle between cytoplasm and nucleus

In response to mitogenic signals [165]

 

IIb-HDACs (HDAC6 HDAC10)

Cytoplasm

HDAC6 is reported to modulate the function of the non-histone protein HSP90 [166]

Class III [167]

Seven members of this family are SIRT1 through SIRT7

SIRTs are located in cellular compartments: nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondrion

Involved in cell ageing and energy metabolism processes [168,169,170]

Class IV

HDAC11

nucleus

Implicate in the regulation of interleukin-10 expression [171, 172]
