Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that functions as a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis. HIF-1 regulates the expressions of the proteins that increase oxygen delivery, which enables cells to survive in oxygen-deficient conditions. Based on information as to which types of genes are controlled by HIF-1, it appears that HIF-1 provides pathological tissues with survival in hypoxic...
