Identification of Alternative Spliced Variants of Human Hypoxia-inducible Factor-1α
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian cells are able to sense oxygen and regulate a number of genes in response to hypoxia. The transcription factor Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1) was identified as an important key component of the hypoxia signaling pathway. HIF-1 is a heterodimer composed of two members of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor superfamily containing a PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain: HIF-1alpha and HIF-1beta/ARNT....
