HIF-3 alpha Antibody / HIF3A

Hypoxia-inducible factor 3 alpha, also called MOP7, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIF3A gene. HIF3A is mapped to 19q13.32. This gene involved in adaptive response to hypoxia. HIF3A suppresses hypoxia-inducible expression of HIF1A and EPAS1. It binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters. The complex HIF3A-ARNT activates the transcription of reporter genes driven by HRE. This gene functions as an inhibitor of angiogenesis in the cornea.
