PHF8 was found to be expressional increased during endothelial differentation and siginifcantly decreased during cardial differentation of murine embryonic stem cells.[4]
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 intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism and cleft lip/palate,[10] was found to additionally prevent nuclear localisation of PHF8 overexpressed in human cells.[3]
