The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the
post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in
hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha proteins. HIF is a
transcriptional complex that plays a central role in mammalian
oxygen homeostasis. This protein functions as a cellular oxygen
sensor, and under normal oxygen concentration, modification by
prolyl hydroxylation is a key regulatory event that targets HIF
subunits for proteasomal destruction via the von Hippel-Lindau
ubiquitylation complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with
erythrocytosis familial type 3 (ECYT3).1) Aggarwal, S., et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 107(44):18961-18966(2010)
