Hdac8, also known as histone deacetylase 8 isoform 1, is a member of the class I Histone Deacetylases. Its specific inhibition reduces gene expression and production of proinflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo. It expressed in the renal epithelial cells of the mouse kidney. Its activity contributes to renal protection and functional recovery and is required for renal regeneration after AKI.
