Abstract:

Abstract: PHF8 is a member of the JmjC domain-containing protein family. It catalyzes histone lysine demethylation and regulates gene transcription. Different mutations of PHF8 gene were found in patients of X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). This review focuses on the research progress of PHF8, particularly the
relationship between PHF8 and XLMR genesis, and the biochemical and physiological functions of this protein.


    

Key words: X-linked mental retardation; development; histone demethylase; PHF8
