Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor is activated by low oxygen to promote the expression of target genes that allow cellular, tissue, and organismal adaptation to low oxygen. Hypoxia-inducible factor is activated not only by hypoxia but also as a consequence of genetic mutations in a variety of tumors. This review summarizes recent studies on hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha...
