Association between ulcerative growth and <i>hypoxia inducible factor‐1α</i> polymorphisms in colorectal cancer patients
24 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
The hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) has been found to be involved in several different physiological mechanisms, such as blood-vessel formation, apoptosis, and erythropoiesis. HIF-1alpha is hydroxylated at normoxia and rapidly degraded via the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)/ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system to prevent angiogenesis. In a previous study, the C1772T (P582S) and the G1790A (A588T)...
