Abstract
Prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2) regulates cellular response to hypoxia. Here the authors show that PHD2 is downregulated in melanoma and that PHD2 depletion, in a mouse model, promotes the progression of benign melanocytic lesions into melanoma, via activation of the Akt/mTOR signaling cascade.
