P4HTM prolyl 4-hydroxylase, transmembrane

Gene ID: 54681, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PH4; PH-4; PHD4; EGLN4; HIDEA; HIFPH4; P4H-TM

Summary

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.
