    basic FUNCTION
  • promoting the repression mediated via transcriptional corepressor NCOR2
  • acting as a regulator of NR4A1 and apoptosis in developing thymocytes
  • maintaining vascular integrity by repressing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 10
  • being responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4)
  • promotes PML sumoylation and is essential for PML nuclear body formation
  • having a crucial role in maintaining vascular integrity
  • key modulator of endothelial cell migration and hence angiogenesis, at least in part, by regulating PDGF-B/PDGFR-beta gene expression
  • role for HDAC7 and FOXA1 in estrogen repression of RPRM, a mechanism which could potentially be generalized to many more estrogen-repressed genes and hence be important in both normal physiology and pathological processes
  • plays a central role in restoration of cystic fibrosis mutation ÄF508 function
  • expressed in the early stages of embryonic development and may play a role in endothelial function
  • neuroprotective protein acting by a mechanism that is independent of its deacetylase activity but involving the inhibition of JUN expression
  • unexpected function for HDAC7 in osteoclasts that is distinct from the function of HDAC3 (represses osteoclast differentiation)
  • HDAC5, HDAC7, and EHMT2 are involved in the transcriptional repression activity of PARP2
  • in B cells HDAC7 is a transcriptional repressor of undesirable genes, suggesting a role for HDAC7 in maintaining the identity of a particular cell type by silencing lineage-inappropriate genes
  • promotes Toll-like receptor 4-dependent proinflammatory gene expression in macrophages
  • suppresses proliferation and CTNNB activity in chondrocytes, and reducing HDAC7 levels in early chondrocytes may promote the expansion and regeneration of cartilage tissues
  • has a potent anti-oncogenic effect on specific B-cell malignancies, indicating that its deregulation may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease

  • interacting with MAML1 (SUMOylation of MAML1 is a mechanism for repressing MAML1 activity by influencing its interaction with HDAC7)
  • inhibits the transcriptional activity of RUNX2 in maturing osteoblasts in a deacetylase-independent manner
  • represses MITF at least in part by deacetylation-independent mechanism
  • AKAP12 tumor/angiogenesis suppressor gene is an epigenetic target of HDAC7
  • upon TNFSF11 activation, HDAC7 suppresses NFATC1 and prevents CTNNB1 down-regulation, thereby blocking osteoclast differentiation
  • PARP2 interacts and recruits histone deacetylases HDAC5 and HDAC7, and histone methyltransferase EHMT2 to the promoters of cell cycle-related genes, generating repressive chromatin signatures
  • VEGFA and PKC promote degradation-independent protein ubiquitination of FLNB to control intracellular trafficking of HDAC7
  • HLCS acts as a biotin-independent transcriptional repressor interacting with HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC7
  • HDAC7 suppresses RUNX2 activity and osteoblast differentiation, and suppresses proliferation and CTNNB1 activity in chondrocytes
  • TNF-mediated suppression of steroidogenesis involves HDAC7 in Leydig cells
