GenAge entry for HDAC2 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 207)

HGNC symbol: HDAC2
Aliases: RPD3; YAF1
Common name: histone deacetylase 2

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: HDAC2 performs the deacetylation of histones and is an important player in may processes such as development, transcriptional regulation, and cell cycle progression [736]. Homologues of HDAC2 have been linked to longevity in yeast [203] and to ageing and caloric restriction in fruit flies [202]. Whether HDAC2 is involved in human ageing, however, is not known.
