4-(2-Thienyl)butyric acid is a compound that functions as a modulator of gene expression. It acts as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, altering the acetylation status of histone proteins and thereby influencing the transcription of specific genes. This modulation of gene expression can have downstream effects on cellular processes and pathways, making it useful for studying the regulation of gene expression. At the molecular level, 4-(2-Thienyl)butyric acid interacts with histone deacetylase enzymes, leading to changes in chromatin structure and gene transcription. Its mode of action involves the epigenetic regulation of gene expression, providing insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular function and dysfunction.
