Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a 120kD basic helix-loop-helix protein that belongs to the PAS superfamily of transcription factors. It has a crucial role in activating transcription of hypoxia-inducible genes. It can also activate the expression of the gene coding for NIP3; which subsequently induces cell apoptosis under persistent oxygen deprivation. Monoclonal anti-HIF-1α antibody can be used in immunostaining to detect HIF-1α localization. It can also be used in western blotting.
