EFFECT OF PROLYL 4-HYDROXYLASE INHIBITOR HOE 077 AND ITS DERIVATIVES ON THE COLLAGEN SYNTHESIS IN HSC-T6 CELLS

  • Published : 2002.11.01

Abstract

The abnormal accumulation of collagen is progressive and often results in impairment of liver function, i.e. liver cirrhosis. Collagen synthesis requires several posttranslational events. Prolyl 4-hydroxylase is the key enzyme in collagen synthesis that catalyzes the hydroxylation of peptide-bound proline residues to 4-hydroxyroline.(omitted)
