Histone deacetylase 7 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HDAC7 gene.Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene has sequence homology to members of the histone deacetylase family.
