NCIt synonyms : HIF-1Alpha; HIF1A; Member of PAS Protein 1; ARNT Interacting Protein; PAS Domain-Containing Protein 8; bHLHe78; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 78; Member of PAS Superfamily 1; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor1alpha; ARNT-Interacting Protein; Basic-Helix-Loop-Helix-PAS Protein MOP1; HIF-1-Alpha; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1, Alpha Subunit; Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 Alpha Subunit; HIF-1 Alpha;
NCIt definition : Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (826 aa, 93 kDa) is encoded by the human HIF1A gene.
This protein plays a role in transcriptional regulation in response to hypoxia.;
NCIt note : Under normoxic conditions, HIF-1alpha is rapidly degraded, whereas hypoxia, CoCl(2),
or desferroxamine promote protein stabilization, thus evoking its transcriptional
activity.;
