Predicted to enable histone deacetylase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of histone deacetylase complex. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cervix uteri carcinoma in situ; chondrodysplasia with platyspondyly, distinctive brachydactyly, hydrocephaly, and microphthalmia; and polycystic liver disease. Is an ortholog of human HDAC6 (histone deacetylase 6).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
