prolyl 4-hydroxylase alpha 2; 4-PH alpha-2; procollagen-proline-2-oxoglutarate-4-dioxygenase alpha-2 subunit (P4HA2, P4HA)

Function

• catalyzes post-translational formation of 4-hydroxyproline in -Xaa-Pro-gly- sequences in collagens & other proteins

procollagen L-proline + 2-oxoglutarate + O2
                    <-->
procollagen trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline + succinate + CO2

Structure

• heterotetramer of two alpha-2 chains & two beta chains (the beta chain is the multi-functional PDI)
• belongs to the P4HA family
• contains 1 PKHD (prolyl/lysyl hydroxylase) domain
• contains 1 TPR repeat

Compartment

endoplasmic reticulum lumen

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2

More general terms
