Abstract excerpt
HIF-1alpha is originally identified as a transcription factor that activates gene expression in response to hypoxia. In metazoans, HIF-1alpha functions as a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis and regulates adaptive responses to change in oxygen tension during embryogenesis, tissue ischemia, and tumorigenesis. Because Hif-1alpha-deficient mice exhibit a number of developmental defects, the precise role of...
