General description

von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL) is most widely recognized as belonging to an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that specifically targets hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) for the purpose of polyubiquitination and proteolytic degradation. Within this complex, VHL acts as a target recruitment subunit for HIFα and its subsequent ubiquitination. The complex also contains proteins such as B and C elongins, Rbx1 and Cul2. Inactivation of VHL has been linked to renal cell carcinoma development, therefore suggesting that VHL plays a role as a tumor suppressor. VHL expression has been observed in both fetal and adult kidney and brain tissues. Defects in VHL expression are causal to renal cell carcinoma type 1 (RCC1), erythrocytosis familial type 2 (ECYT2), von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD), and pheochromocytoma.
