hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha

Gene Summary

Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to decreased oxygen levels; positive regulation of angiogenesis; and regulation of biosynthetic process. Located in nucleus. Used to study acute kidney failure; cerebrovascular disease (multiple); diabetic retinopathy; and hepatocellular carcinoma. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); bladder neck obstruction; bronchopulmonary dysplasia; ischemia (multiple); and kidney failure (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma; myocardial infarction; prostate cancer; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human HIF1A (hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
