Other Names | Von Hippel-Lindau disease tumor suppressor, Protein G7, pVHL, VHL |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6549a was selected from the N-term region of human VHL. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | VHL |

Function | Involved in the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex (PubMed:10944113, PubMed:17981124, PubMed:19584355). Seems to act as a target recruitment subunit in the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and recruits hydroxylated hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) under normoxic conditions (PubMed:10944113, PubMed:17981124). Involved in transcriptional repression through interaction with HIF1A, HIF1AN and histone deacetylases (PubMed:10944113, PubMed:17981124). Ubiquitinates, in an oxygen-responsive manner, ADRB2 (PubMed:19584355). Acts as a negative regulator of mTORC1 by promoting ubiquitination and degradation of RPTOR (PubMed:34290272). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum. Nucleus. Note=Found predominantly in the cytoplasm and with less amounts nuclear or membrane-associated (PubMed:9751722) Colocalizes with ADRB2 at the cell membrane (PubMed:19584355) |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the adult and fetal brain and kidney. |

Background
Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) is a dominantly inherited familial cancer syndrome predisposing to a variety of malignant and benign tumors. A germline mutation of VHL gene is the basis of familial inheritance of VHL syndrome. The protein is a component of the protein complex that includes elongin B, elongin C, and cullin-2, and possesses ubiquitin ligase E3 activity. This protein is involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia-inducible-factor (HIF), which is a transcription factor that plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression by oxygen. RNA polymerase II subunit POLR2G/RPB7 is also reported to be a target of this protein.
