Description

Antigen: HIF-1α amino acids 809-826 · Host: rabbit · Application(s): (+) WB; (−) ICC and IP; other applications not tested · Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor that accumulates under low-oxygen conditions.1,2 Following hypoxic stimulus and cytoplasmic accumulation, HIF-1α migrates to the nucleus where with other transcription factors, it drives the production of stress-adaptive proteins. This response is essential for maintenance of normal oxidative physiology, however overexpression in cancer cells promotes tumor survival.2,3,4,5,6 HIF-1α is an endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS-1) family member with phosphorylation dependent activities.7,8 Cayman Chemical’s HIF-1α polyclonal antibody can be used for WB analysis for HIF-1α on samples from human, mouse, and simian. It is not suitable for ICC or IP. Other applications for use of this antibody have not yet been tested.
