NCIt definition : Egl nine homolog 1 (426 aa, 46 kDa) is encoded by the human EGLN1 gene. This protein
plays a role in the modification of hypoxia-inducible factor alpha proteins in response
to hypoxic conditions.;
NCIt note : The activity of egl nine homolog 1 is inhibited in ischemic tissues. (Nature. 2011;
479:122-126.);
