HIF1A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, alpha subunit (basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor), also known as HIF1A, is a human gene.
The protein encoded by HIF1 is a bHLH-PAS transcription factor found in mammalian cells growing at low oxygen concentrations. It plays an essential role in cellular and systemic responses to hypoxia.[1] This is one of the class of hypoxia inducible factors, a family that includes Hif1a, Hif2a, and Hif3a.
HIF1 is a heterodimer composed of Hif1a, the alpha subunit, and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (Arnt), the beta subunit. Overexpression of a natural antisense transcript (aHIF) of this gene is associated with nonpapillary renal carcinomas.[2] Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified.[3]
