It is localized in the nuclei of cells and encoded by 2Kb mRNA. Falkor is ubiquitously expressed in various mouse tissue with high level expression in testis and the lowest expression in spleen and skeletal muscle. It was speculated that the falkor protein is associated with suppression of cell growth and comprises of several putative phosphorylation sites for proteins such as protein kinase C and casein kinase II. Falkor has a significant homology to the C.elegans EGL-9. The human homolog of Falkor and EGL-9 is PHD1 (prolyl hydroxylase 1) which is involved in the regulation of HIF-1α. PHD1 function as dioxygenases that regulate HIF-1α by prolyl hydroxylation.
