PHD Finger Protein 15 (PHF15)

By sequencing clones obtained from a size-fractionated myeloid leukemia cell line cDNA library, Nagase et al. (1996) cloned PHF15, which they designated KIAA0339. The deduced protein contains 571 amino acids. Northern blot analysis detected PHF15 in all tissues and cell lines examined.

By radiation hybrid and human-rodent hybrid analysis, Nagase et al. (1996) mapped the PHF15 gene to chromosome 5. By genomic sequence analysis, Tzouanacou et al. (2003) mapped the mouse Phf15 gene to a region of syntenic homology on chromosome 11.
