NCIt synonyms : Egl Nine Homolog 2 (C. elegans) Gene; HIF-PH1; HIFP4H1; EGL9, C. elegans, Homolog of, 2 Gene; HIFPH1; EGL Nine (C.elegans) Homolog 2 Gene; Egl-9 Family Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 2 wt Allele; HPH-1; PHD1; HPH-3; EIT6;
NCIt definition : Human EGLN2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.2 and is approximately
9 kb in length. This allele, which encodes egl nine homolog 2 protein, plays a role
in the cellular response to hypoxia.;
NCIt note : A read-through transcript between EGLN2 and the upstream RAB4B gene exists. However,
it is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and unlikely to produce
a protein product. (EntrezGene);
