HDAC10 (Histone Deacetylase 10) is a class IIb histone deacetylase primarily localized to the cytoplasm and nucleus, where it regulates gene expression and protein function through deacetylation. HDAC10 is expressed in various tissues including brain, liver, and immune cells. It plays roles in diverse cellular processes including autophagy, immune response, and neuronal function. HDAC10 is unique among class II HDACs for its ability to deacetylate non-histone proteins and participate in cytoplasmic processes.
In the nervous system, HDAC10 is involved in regulating autophagy—a critical process for clearing misfolded proteins and damaged organelles that accumulate in neurodegenerative diseases. HDAC10 activity influences the autophagy-lysosomal pathway, and altered HDAC10 expression has been reported in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease models. Therapeutic strategies targeting HDAC10 aim to enhance autophagy and restore neuronal homeostasis.
HDAC10 encodes histone deacetylase 10, a class IIb histone deacetylase with primarily cytoplasmic localization. HDAC10 is unique among HDACs in its ability to shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm. It functions in transcriptional repression, stress response, and autophagy regulation. HDAC10 has been implicated in cancer progression, immune response, and more recently in neurodegenerative diseases. It can deacetylate not only histones but also non-histone proteins involved in autophagy and cellular stress responses.
Wide tissue distribution with high expression in liver, kidney, and brain. Predominantly cytoplasmic localization but can translocate to nucleus.
