    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    PHD-2/Egln1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total PHD-2/Egln1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val226 of human PHD-2/Egln1 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    PHD-1 (Egln2), PHD-2 (Egln1), and PHD-3 (Egln3) are members of the Egln family of proline hydroxylases. They function as oxygen sensors that catalyze the hydroxylation of HIF on prolines 564 and 402, initiating the first step of HIF degradation through the VHL/ubiquitin pathway (1,2). PHD-1 is highly expressed in a wide array of tissues, whereas PHD-2 and PHD-3 are expressed mainly in heart and skeletal muscle (1,3). The mRNA levels of PHD are upregulated by HIF through the hypoxia-response element under low oxygen conditions (4-7). These three enzymes also exhibit different peptide specificity target proteins, PHD-1 and PHD-2 can hydroxylate both proline 402 and proline 564, but PHD-3 can only hydroxylate proline 564 (2,8). In addition to HIF, PHD enzymes have also has been shown to catalyze the hydroxylation of RNA polymerase subunits and myogenin (3,9).
