Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) proteins, including PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3, mediate oxygen-dependent degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-alpha subunits. Although angiogenic roles of hypoxia-inducible factors are well known, the roles of PHDs in the vascular system remain to be established. METHODS AND RESULTS: We evaluated angiogenic phenotypes in mice carrying targeted disruptions in genes...
