Product Description

In Western blot, background may increase with whole cell extract preparations. Lower dilutions may be needed for whole cell extract preps. Suggested positive control: MCF-7 human nuclear extracts, MCF-7 whole cell lysate, antigen standard for ARNT (transient overexpression lysate). HIF-1 beta is a series of aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) gene products. Hypoxia contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of major categories of human disease, including myocardial and cerebral ischemia, cancer, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Hypoxia contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of major categories of human disease, including myocardial and cerebral ischemia, cancer, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. HIF-1 is a nuclear protein involved in mammalian oxygen homeostasis. This occurs as a posttranslational modification by prolyl hydroxylation. HIF-1 is a heterodimer composed of HIF-1 alpha and HIF-1 beta subunits. Both subunits are constantly translated. However, under normoxic conditions, human HIF-1 alpha is hydroxylated at Pro402 or Pro564 by a set of HIF prolyl hydroxylases, is polyubiquinated, and eventually degraded i
