NCIt definition : Human P4HA2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q31 and is approximately
103 kb in length. This allele, which encodes prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha-2
protein, plays a role in procollagen processing.;
NCIt note : Expression of the P4HA2 gene (along with the MMP1, COL4A1, and THBS2 genes) in histologically
normal surgical margins may be a prognostic marker for oral carcinoma recurrence.
