HIF1A

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, alpha subunit (basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor), also known as HIF1A, is a human gene. PBB_Summary
section_title =
summary_text = The protein encoded by HIF1 is a bHLH-PAS transcription factor found in mammalian cells growing at low oxygen concentrations. It plays an essential role in cellular and systemic responses to hypoxia. [cite journal | author=Ratcliffe PJ |title=From erythropoietin to oxygen: hypoxia-inducible factor hydroxylases and the hypoxia signal pathway. |journal=Blood Purif. |volume=20 |issue= 5 |pages= 445–50 |year= 2003 |pmid= 12207089 |doi=10.1159/000065201] This is one of the class of hypoxia inducible factors, a family that includes Hif1a, Hif2a, and Hif3a.

HIF1 is a heterodimer composed of Hif1a, the alpha subunit, and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (Arnt), the beta subunit. Overexpression of a natural antisense transcript (aHIF) of this gene is associated with nonpapillary renal carcinomas.
