HIF3A - hypoxia inducible factor 3 subunit alpha Gene
Also Known as IPAS; MOP7; PASD7; HIF-3A; bHLHe17; HIF3-alpha-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About HIF3A
This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 191 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 8.3), spleen (RPKM 6.6) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha-3 subunit of one of several alpha/beta-subunit heterodimeric transcription factors that regulate many adaptive responses to low oxygen tension (hypoxia). The alpha-3 subunit lacks the transactivation domain found in factors containing either the alpha-1 or alpha-2 subunits. It is thought that factors containing the alpha-3 subunit are negative regulators of hypoxia-inducible gene expression. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
