[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VHL_HUMAN VHL_HUMAN]] Defects in VHL are a cause of susceptibility to pheochromocytoma (PCC) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/171300 171300]]. A catecholamine-producing tumor of chromaffin tissue of the adrenal medulla or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine, is hypertension, which may be persistent or intermittent. Defects in VHL are the cause of von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/193300 193300]]. VHLD is a dominantly inherited familial cancer syndrome characterized by the development of retinal angiomatosis, cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), phaeochromocytoma and pancreatic tumors. VHL type 1 is without pheochromocytoma, type 2 is with pheochromocytoma. VHL type 2 is further subdivided into types 2A (pheochromocytoma, retinal angioma, and hemangioblastomas without renal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cyst) and 2B (pheochromocytoma, retinal angioma, and hemangioblastomas with renal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cyst). VHL type 2C refers to patients with isolated pheochromocytoma without hemangioblastoma or renal cell carcinoma. The estimated incidence is 3/100000 births per year and penetrance is 97% by age 60 years.<ref>PMID:10635329</ref> <ref>PMID:8493574</ref> <ref>PMID:7987306</ref> <ref>PMID:7728151</ref> <ref>PMID:8634692</ref> <ref>PMID:8592333</ref> <ref>PMID:8825918</ref> <ref>PMID:8730290</ref> <ref>PMID:8956040</ref> <ref>PMID:9452032</ref> <ref>PMID:9452106</ref> <ref>PMID:10627136</ref> <ref>PMID:9829911</ref> <ref>PMID:9829912</ref> [:]<ref>PMID:10533030</ref> <ref>PMID:10408776</ref> <ref>PMID:16502427</ref> Defects in VHL are the cause of familial erythrocytosis type 2 (ECYT2) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/263400 263400]]; also called VHL-dependent polycythemia or Chuvash type polycythemia. ECYT2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an increase in serum red blood cell mass, hypersensitivity of erythroid progenitors to erythropoietin, increased erythropoietin serum levels, and normal oxygen affinity. Patients with ECYT2 carry a high risk for peripheral thrombosis and cerebrovascular events.<ref>PMID:12844285</ref> <ref>PMID:12393546</ref> Defects in VHL are a cause of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/144700 144700]]. Renal cell carcinoma is a heterogeneous group of sporadic or hereditary carcinoma derived from cells of the proximal renal tubular epithelium. It is subclassified into clear cell renal carcinoma (non-papillary carcinoma), papillary renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, collecting duct carcinoma with medullary carcinoma of the kidney, and unclassified renal cell carcinoma.<ref>PMID:11986208</ref>

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VHL_HUMAN VHL_HUMAN]] Involved in the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex. Seems to act as target recruitment subunit in the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and recruits hydroxylated hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) under normoxic conditions. Involved in transcriptional repression through interaction with HIF1A, HIF1AN and histone deacetylases. Ubiquitinates, in an oxygen-responsive manner, ADRB2.<ref>PMID:9751722</ref> <ref>PMID:10944113</ref> <ref>PMID:19584355</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ELOB_HUMAN ELOB_HUMAN]] SIII, also known as elongin, is a general transcription elongation factor that increases the RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. Subunit A is transcriptionally active and its transcription activity is strongly enhanced by binding to the dimeric complex of the SIII regulatory subunits B and C (elongin BC complex).<ref>PMID:7638163</ref> <ref>PMID:15590694</ref> The elongin BC complex seems to be involved as an adapter protein in the proteasomal degradation of target proteins via different E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, including the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex CBC(VHL). By binding to BC-box motifs it seems to link target recruitment subunits, like VHL and members of the SOCS box family, to Cullin/RBX1 modules that activate E2 ubiquitination enzymes.<ref>PMID:7638163</ref> <ref>PMID:15590694</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HIF1A_HUMAN HIF1A_HUMAN]] Functions as a master transcriptional regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, activates the transcription of over 40 genes, including erythropoietin, glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, vascular endothelial growth factor, HILPDA, and other genes whose protein products increase oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. Plays an essential role in embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis and pathophysiology of ischemic disease. Binds to core DNA sequence 5'-[AG]CGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters. Activation requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBPB and EP300. Activity is enhanced by interaction with both, NCOA1 or NCOA2. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD and potentiates activation by NCOA1 and CREBBP. Involved in the axonal distribution and transport of mitochondria in neurons during hypoxia.<ref>PMID:9887100</ref> <ref>PMID:11566883</ref> <ref>PMID:11292861</ref> <ref>PMID:15465032</ref> <ref>PMID:16543236</ref> <ref>PMID:16973622</ref> <ref>PMID:17610843</ref> <ref>PMID:19528298</ref> <ref>PMID:20624928</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ELOC_HUMAN ELOC_HUMAN]] SIII, also known as elongin, is a general transcription elongation factor that increases the RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites.
