Protein Domain : IPR001321

Type:  Family Name:  Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha
Description:  Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that respond to changes in available oxygen in the cellular environment. Specifically, they respond to decreases in oxygen, mediating the effects of hypoxia []. HIFs are heterodimers, composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. At least 3 different alpha subunits are known to exist, termed HIF-1, -2 and -3 alpha. Beta subunits, meanwhile, are constitutively-expressedaryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocators (ARNTs).In addition to their role in hypoxia, HIFs have been shown to be involved in a range of processes, including angiogenesis, metal transport, mitochondrial function and cell growth [].This entry represents the HIF-1 alpha subunit. Short Name:  HIF-1_alpha
