Hypoxia‐Inducible Factor and the Development of Stem Cells of the Cardiovascular System
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Decreased oxygen (O2) levels activate hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1) to induce genes involved in glycolysis, glucose transport, erythropoiesis, and angiogenesis. Mutations in various HIF-1 subunits have contributed to our understanding of the role hypoxia plays during early embryonic development in general and the cardiovascular system in particular. We propose that HIF-1 is important for the generation,...
