histone H4K8 deacetylase activity, hydrolytic mechanism

ID: GO_0180033

Catalysis of the reaction: histone H4 N6-acetyl-L-lysine (position 8) + H2O = histone H4 L-lysine (position 8) + acetate. This reaction represents the removal of an acetyl group from lysine at position 8 of the histone H4 protein.

Note that the residue position corresponds to the canonical human H4 histone (UniProtKB:P02309); this residue is conserved across all eukaryotes. Note that the initiation methionine is cleaved, so the first residue is S1.
