INTERACTION BETWEEN THE VON HIPPEL-LINDAU TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR AND HYPOXIA INDUCIBLE FACTOR, AND ASSAY METHODS RELATING THERETO

The invention relates to the finding that the VHL tumour suppressor protein regulates hypoxia inducible factor α subunits, by targeting HIF α for destruction in normoxic, but not hypoxic cells. The invention provides assays for modulators of this interaction, and peptides based upon HIF α subunit se...

More Information
Summary:The invention relates to the finding that the VHL tumour suppressor protein regulates hypoxia inducible factor α subunits, by targeting HIF α for destruction in normoxic, but not hypoxic cells. The invention provides assays for modulators of this interaction, and peptides based upon HIF α subunit sequences which may modulate this interaction.
