Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF), consisting of HIF1alpha and ARNT (HIF1beta) subunits, activates multiple genes in response to oxygen (O(2)) deprivation. Arnt(-/-) mice exhibit substantial defects in blood cell and vessel development. We demonstrate that hypoxia accelerates the expression of Brachyury (a mesoderm-specific transcription factor), BMP4 (a mesoderm-promoting growth factor) and FLK1 (a marker of...
