Rabbit Anti-HIF Prolyl Hydroxylases/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The product of this gene belongs to the family of prolyl 4-hydroxylases. This protein is a prolyl hydroxylase that may be involved in the degradation of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors under normoxia. It plays a role in adaptation to hypoxia and may be related to cellular oxygen sensing. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Catalyzes the post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha proteins. Hydroxylates HIF1A at 'Pro-402' and 'Pro-564'. May function as a cellular oxygen sensor and, under normoxic conditions, may target HIF through the hydroxylation for proteasomal degradation via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex.
Subunit:
Homodimer.
Subcellular Location:
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed with highest levels in adult pancreas, heart, skeletal muscle, brain, placenta, kidney and adrenal gland. Expressed at lower levels in epiphyseal cartilage and in fibroblasts.
Post-translational modifications:
Glycosylated.
Similarity:
Contains 2 EF-hand domains.
Contains 1 Fe2OG dioxygenase domain.
