Drosophila von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene function in epithelial tubule morphogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the human von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene are the cause of VHL disease that displays multiple benign and malignant tumors. The VHL gene has been shown to regulate angiogenic potential and glycolic metabolism via its E3 ubiquitin ligase function against the alpha subunit of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-alpha). However, many HIF-independent functions of VHL have been identified. Recent evidence also...
