HDAC2 belongs to the histone deacetylase family that act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes and are responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal region of the core histones. It forms transcriptional repressor complexes by associating with many different proteins, including YY1, a mammalian zinc-finger transcription factor. It also plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Recombinant corresponding to aa1-488 of human HDAC2, expressed with C-terminal His-tag in high-5 cells using baculovirus expression system.
