Abstract excerpt
Prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 protein (PHD2) signals the degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha by hydroxylating specific prolyl residues located within oxygen-dependent degradation domains. As expected, endothelial cells (ECs) overexpressing PHD2 had reduced HIF-1alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor-A expression and failed to accelerate their proliferation in response to hypoxia....
