Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a new acylation modification first discovered in 2011, which has important biological significance for gene expression, cell development, and disease treatment. In the past over ten years, numerous signs of progress have been made in the research on the biochemistry of Kcr modification, especially a series of Kcr modification-related "reader", "eraser", and "writer" enzyme systems are identified. The physiological function of crotonylation and its correlation with development, heredity, and spermatogenesis have been paid more and more attention. However, the development of disease is usually associated with abnormal Kcr modification. In this review, we summarized the identification of crotonylation modification, Kcr-related enzyme system, biological functions, and diseases caused by abnormal Kcr. This knowledge supplies a theoretical basis for further exploring the function of crotonylation in the future.
