Abstract excerpt
PHDs (proline hydroxylases) are a small protein family found in all organisms, considered the central regulator of the molecular hypoxia response due to PHDs being completely inactivated under low oxygen concentration. At physiological oxygen concentration, PHDs drive the degradation of the HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α), which is responsible for upregulating the expression of genes involved in the...
