Summary
Regulation of IL1B-induced NF-κB by hydroxylases links key hypoxic and inflammatory signaling pathways in a manner that is dependent upon the combinatorial blockade of both EGLN2 and HIF1AN.
Entrez Gene
Summary The hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is a transcriptional complex that is involved in oxygen homeostasis. At normal oxygen levels, the alpha subunit of HIF is targeted for degration by prolyl hydroxylation. This gene encodes an enzyme responsible for this post-translational modification. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the upstream RAB4B (RAB4B, member RAS oncogene family) gene.
