About VHL

Cytogenetic location: 3p25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:10,141,778-10,153,667 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 168 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 102 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 12.2), spleen (RPKM 10.0) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a component of a ubiquitination complex. The encoded protein is involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia-inducible-factor (HIF), which is a transcription factor that plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression by oxygen. In addition to oxygen-related gene expression, this protein plays a role in many other cellular processes including cilia formation, cytokine signaling, regulation of senescence, and formation of the extracellular matrix. Variants of this gene are associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, pheochromocytoma, erythrocytosis, renal cell carcinoma, and cerebellar hemangioblastoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]
