histone deacetylase activity
id: GO:0004407
name: histone deacetylase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the reaction: histone N6-acetyl-L-lysine + H2O = histone L-lysine + acetate. This reaction represents the removal of an acetyl group from a histone, a class of proteins complexed to DNA in chromatin and chromosomes.
