EGLN3 catalyzes the post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha proteins. It hydroxylates HIF-1 alpha at ′Pro-564′, and HIF-2 alpha. EGLN3 functions as a cellular oxygen sensor and, under normoxic conditions, targets HIF through the hydroxylation for proteasomal degradation via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex. It may play a role in cell growth regulation in muscle cells and in apoptosis in neuronal tissue. EGLN3 promotes cell death through a caspase-dependent mechanism.
