References

Class I

HDAC1, 2

NA

Nucleus

Mediate DNA damage response, regulate cardiac morphogenesis, growth, and contractility, and repress cytokine production

[7, 14]

HDAC3

NA

Nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane

Mediate DNA repair, endochondral bone formation, mitosis, and inflammatory response

[4, 7, 11, 12, 14]

HDAC8

Smooth muscles

Nucleus and cytoplasm

Affect contractility in smooth muscles and mediate anti-apoptosis

[7, 9, 13, 14]

Class II

IIa (HDAC4, 5, 7, 9)

Brain, heart, lungs, placenta, pancreas, skeletal muscles, and thymus

Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling

Regulate myocyte, osteocyte, and cardiomyocyte differentiation

[5, 7]

IIb (HDAC6, 10)

Heart, skeletal, muscles, brain, liver, spleen, and kidney

Cytoplasm

Regulate angiogenesis, cell motility, adhesion, polyamine metabolism, and antiviral innate immune response

[5, 7, 16, 17]

Class III

Sirtuins (SIRT1-7)

NA

Nucleus and cytoplasm, mitochondrion

Regulate mitochondrial function, autophagy and mitophagy, and mediate DNA repair

[5, 7, 23]

Class IV

HDAC11

NA

Nucleus

Regulate lipid metabolism and immunoregulation

[5, 18]
