Predicted to enable histone deacetylase activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in DNA protection. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including ASHL and ASHR. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and prostate disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human HDAC1 (histone deacetylase 1) and HDAC2 (histone deacetylase 2).
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.
