Regulation of the hypoxic response in humans is regulated by the post-translational
hydroxylation of hypoxia inducible transcription factor; a recombinant form of a human prolyl-
4-hydroxylase (PHD2) was characterised and shown to have an unexpectedly high affinity
for, and to copurify with endogenous levels of, its Fe (II) cofactor and 2-oxoglutarate
cosubstrate.
