Application(s)WB
Antibody HostRabbit
Antibody TypePolyclonal
SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB against the antigen. Human; rat
Species ReactivityHuman, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human HIF-1-alpha (8-21aa NDKKKISSERRKEK), different from the related rat and mouse sequences by two amino acids.
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsWestern Blotting (WB), IHC-P. A concentration of 0.1-0.5 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human HIF-1 alpha (isoform 1) has a predicted length of 826 residues and a MW of 93 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect HIF1A in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is required by boiling the formalin/paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0 for 20 mins. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundFunctions as a master transcriptional regulator of the adaptive response to hypoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, activates the transcription of over 40 genes, including erythropoietin, glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, vascular endothelial growth factor, HILPDA, and other genes whose protein products increase oxygen delivery or facilitate metabolic adaptation to hypoxia. Plays an essential role in embryonic vascularization, tumor angiogenesis and pathophysiology of ischemic disease. Heterodimerizes with ARNT; heterodimer binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters (By similarity). Activation requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBBP and EP300. Activity is enhanced by interaction with both, NCOA1 or NCOA2. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD and potentiates activation by NCOA1 and CREBBP. Involved in the axonal distribution and transport of mitochondria in neurons during hypoxia. Uniprot UniProtKB - Q16665 (HIF1AβHUMAN).
