Most malignant tissues exhibited moderate nuclear positivity. Additional cytoplasmic positivity was observed in several malignant melanoma, endometrial and lung cancers. Colorectal, breast, liver and testis cancer were negative.

Description
Histone deacetylase 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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 I of the histone deacetylase family. It catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
