VHL Antibody / Tumor Suppressor Protein Antibody is designed for the detection and study of VHL (Von Hippel-Lindau protein), a highly conserved tumor suppressor that plays a central role in regulating cellular responses to oxygen availability. VHL functions as a key component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that targets hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) proteins for degradation under normal oxygen conditions. Through this activity, VHL serves as a critical regulator of hypoxia signaling, oxygen homeostasis, and cellular adaptation pathways that influence numerous aspects of normal physiology and disease biology.
As a tumor suppressor protein, VHL helps maintain appropriate control of cellular growth, survival, and metabolic activity. Under normoxic conditions, VHL-mediated degradation of HIF proteins prevents inappropriate activation of hypoxia-responsive gene expression programs. When oxygen levels decline, HIF proteins accumulate and stimulate transcriptional pathways involved in angiogenesis, metabolism, erythropoiesis, and cellular adaptation. Tight regulation of this oxygen-sensing system is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and coordinating physiologic responses to environmental conditions.
The VHL gene is one of the most extensively studied tumor suppressor genes in human biology. Loss of VHL function results in dysregulated hypoxia signaling and altered expression of genes involved in vascular growth, metabolism, and cellular proliferation. Because of its central position within oxygen-sensing pathways, VHL has become a major focus of research examining mechanisms of tumor development, angiogenesis, and cellular adaptation to microenvironmental stress. Studies of VHL have significantly advanced understanding of how oxygen availability influences both normal cellular function and disease progression.
Beyond its role in hypoxia regulation, VHL participates in broader pathways governing protein turnover, extracellular signaling, cellular differentiation, and maintenance of tissue architecture. The protein influences numerous biologic processes through both HIF-dependent and HIF-independent mechanisms, making it an important target for investigations of developmental biology, vascular biology, metabolism, and cell signaling. Its diverse functional roles have established VHL as a key molecular regulator at the intersection of environmental sensing and cellular homeostasis.
As a tumor suppressor protein, VHL remains one of the most important research targets in studies of cancer biology and hypoxia-associated signaling pathways. Researchers continue to investigate how VHL regulates cellular responses to oxygen availability and how disruption of these mechanisms contributes to pathologic processes. The highly conserved nature of VHL function further supports its value as a research marker across multiple biologic systems.
VHL Antibody is useful for investigating tumor suppression, hypoxia signaling, HIF regulation, oxygen sensing, and cellular homeostasis pathways. Researchers utilize VHL Antibody reagents to evaluate protein expression patterns and study molecular mechanisms governing angiogenesis, metabolic adaptation, vascular development, and maintenance of normal cellular function.

Titration of the VHL Antibody / Tumor Suppressor Protein Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 43-71 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this VHL antibody.
Aliquot the VHL antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
