The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha proteins. HIF is a transcriptional complex that plays a central role in mammalian oxygen homeostasis. The protein functions as a cellular oxygen sensor, and under normal oxygen concentrations, prolyl hydroxylation is a key regulatory event that targets HIF subunits for proteasomal destruction via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial polycythemia type 3 (ECYT3).
