HIF-1 alpha/HIF1A: Proteins and Enzymes

The hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha/HIF1A) is the regulated member of the transcription factor heterodimer HIF-1 alpha/beta. HIF-1 alpha/HIF1A binds to hypoxia-response elements (HREs) in the promoters of many genes involved in the adaptation to an environment of insufficient oxygen or hypoxia. Hypoxic tissue environm...
