HIF-1 alpha Antibody recognizes Hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha, the oxygen-sensitive regulatory component of the HIF-1 transcription factor complex encoded by the HIF1A gene. HIF-1 alpha antibody, also widely referred to as HIF1A antibody and Hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha antibody in the literature, detects a master regulator of cellular responses to hypoxia. Under normoxic conditions, HIF-1 alpha is rapidly hydroxylated and targeted for proteasomal degradation. In contrast, reduced oxygen tension stabilizes HIF-1 alpha, allowing it to accumulate in the nucleus and dimerize with HIF-1 beta to activate hypoxia-responsive genes.
Hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha functions as a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in angiogenesis, glycolysis, erythropoiesis, cell survival, and metabolic adaptation. HIF-1 alpha antibody is commonly used to evaluate hypoxic signaling pathways and tumor microenvironment biology, as HIF1A-driven transcription induces vascular endothelial growth factor, glucose transporters such as GLUT1, and multiple glycolytic enzymes. Nuclear localization of HIF-1 alpha is a hallmark of transcriptionally active hypoxia signaling in immunohistochemical studies.
HIF-1 alpha protein stability is tightly controlled by prolyl hydroxylases that modify specific proline residues in an oxygen-dependent manner. Hydroxylated HIF-1 alpha is recognized by the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor complex and targeted for ubiquitin-mediated degradation. In hypoxia or in tumors with VHL pathway alterations, this degradation pathway is impaired, resulting in accumulation of HIF-1 alpha and activation of hypoxia responsive element-containing genes. HIF-1 alpha Antibody is therefore frequently applied in studies of renal cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors characterized by hypoxic regions.
Beyond oncology, HIF-1 alpha plays important roles in ischemic injury, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory responses, and metabolic reprogramming. HIF1A signaling influences immune cell function, including macrophage polarization and T cell metabolism under low oxygen conditions. Cytoplasmic staining may reflect stabilized but not yet translocated protein, whereas nuclear staining is typically interpreted as active transcriptional engagement. HIF-1 alpha Antibody provides a valuable tool for assessing hypoxia pathway activation, angiogenic signaling, and metabolic adaptation in both basic research and translational studies.
By targeting a central mediator of oxygen sensing and cellular adaptation, HIF-1 alpha Antibody supports investigations into tumor hypoxia, therapeutic resistance, ischemia, and stress response pathways.
Titration of the HIF-1 alpha antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Amino acids 703-732 (EEELNPKILALQNAQRKRKMEHDGSLFQAV-human) were used as the immunogen for this HIF-1 alpha antibody.
The lyophilized HIF-1 alpha antibody can be stored at 4-20oC. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
