PHD finger protein 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PHF8 gene.[5]

Function

PHF8 belongs to the family of ferrous iron and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases superfamily.,[6] and is active as a histone lysine demethylase with selectivity for the di-and monomethyl states.[7] PHF8 induces an EMT (epithelial to mesenchymal transition)-like process by upregulating key EMT transcription factors SNAI1 and ZEB1.

Regulation during differentiation

PHF8 was found to be expressional increased during endothelial differentiation and significantly decreased during cardial differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells.[8]

Clinical significance

Mutations in PHF8 cause Siderius type X-linked intellectual disability (XLMR) (OMIM: 300263).[9][10][11] In addition to moderate

cleft lip and palate.[15]

This catalytic activity is disrupted by clinically known mutations to PHF8, which were found to cluster in its catalytic JmjC domain. The F279S mutation of PHF8, found in 2 Finnish brothers with mild

nuclear localisation of PHF8 overexpressed in human cells.[7]

The catalytic activity of PHF8 depends on molecular

alcohol use, or maternal hypertension treatment.[18]
