Revvity HTRF Human & Mouse HIF-1α Detection Kit, 100,000 Assay Points

HIF-1a is one of the 2 subunits of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). HIF-1 acts as a master regulator of cellular and systemic response to hypoxia by activating the translation of genes involved in energy metabolism, angiogenesis, and apoptosis, among others. High levels of HIF-1 have been associated with aggressive tumor progression. HIF-1a is also strongly linked to diabetes through its involvement in the glucose uptake of target cells. It has also been implicated in diabetes complications, such as diabetic nephropathy or diabetic wound repair.
