Histone deacetylase (HDAC) catalyzes the removal of acetyl group from ε-N-acetyl lysine in histones^[1]. HDAC contains Zn. DNA expression is regulated by acetylation and de-acetylation. HDAC are classified according to their domain organization to 4 classes. SAHA is a common inhibitor of HDAC. For additional details see
