VHL Gene: Comprehensive Cross-Database Identifier and Functional Mapping Reference
GENE OVERVIEW
| A critical tumor suppressor involved in HIF ubiquitination |
|---|
Summary: This gene encodes a component of a ubiquitination complex involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia-inducible-factor (HIF). VHL plays a central role in the regulation of
gene expression by oxygen, cilia formation, cytokine signaling, regulation of senescence, and formation of the extracellular matrix. Variants are associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome,
pheochromocytoma, erythrocytosis, renal cell carcinoma, and cerebellar hemangioblastoma.
