Abstract:Background: Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of enzymes that deacetylate the lysine residues on the protruding histone tails, causing tightening of the chromatin structure and making genes inaccessible to be transcribed. Class I and II HDACs have been involved in cell cycle regulation and progression. Class 1 HDACs have been widely studied in endometrial pathologies and menstrual cycle regulation. Studies have shown that class IIa HDACs (4, 5, 7, and 9) regulate the cell cycle, proliferation, and diffe… Show more
