This gene encodes a component of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, a
key enzyme in collagen synthesis composed of two identical alpha
subunits and two beta subunits. The encoded protein is one of
several different types of alpha subunits and provides the major
part of the catalytic site of the active enzyme. In collagen and
related proteins, prolyl 4-hydroxylase catalyzes the formation of
4-hydroxyproline that is essential to the proper three-dimensional
folding of newly synthesized procollagen chains. Alternatively
spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been
described.1) Rose, J. Phd, et al. Mol. Med. (2010) In press :
