Also known as HIFP4H3, HIFPH3, PHD3, egl-9 family hypoxia inducible factor 3

Egl nine homolog 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EGLN3 gene. ELGN3 is a member of the superfamily of alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases, which are non-haem iron-containing proteins.

Enables peptidyl-proline 4-dioxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; peptidyl-proline hydroxylation to 4-hydroxy-L-proline; and response to hypoxia. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Implicated in renal cell carcinoma. Biomarker of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
