Anti-HIF-1 alpha antibody [ESEE122],Abcam,AB8366

Target data The protein expressed by the gene HIF1A functions as a master transcriptional regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia, activating the transcription of over 40 genes under hypoxic conditions, including erythropoietin, glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, vascular endothelial growth factor, HILPDA, and others. These genes' protein products enhance oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. HIF1A is crucial for embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis, and ischemic disease pathophysiology. Its activation requires transcriptional coactivators like CREBBP and EP300, with activity enhanced by interactions with NCOA1 and/or NCOA2. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX1 activates CTAD and enhances activation by NCOA1 and CREBBP. Additionally, HIF1A is involved in axonal distribution and mitochondrial transport in neurons during hypoxia. In the context of microbial infection, specifically human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, HIF1A is necessary for glycolysis induction in monocytes, leading to a proinflammatory state, inducing expression of ACE2, cytokines, and promoting virus replication and monocyte inflammatory response.
