Product details:
Mouse HIF-1 alpha ELISA kit (ab275103) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Mouse HIF-1 alpha protein in cell and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse HIF-1 alpha with 33.39 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1 alpha) is a constitutively expressed transcription factor that is degraded under normal oxygen tensions and stabilized when oxygen is limiting (hypoxia). Under hypoxic conditions, stabilized HIF-1 alpha translocates to the nucleus and promotes the transcription of genes that enable the cell to adapt to a low oxygen environment. The HIF-1 alpha mediated hypoxic response include promotion of angiogenesis and the switch from aerobic respiration to anaerobic glycolysis. Many of the HIF-1 alpha responsive genes encode proteins that promote glycolysis and/or inhibit oxidative phosphorylation included in the Warburg effect.

HIF-1 alpha also known as hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha is a transcription factor critical in cellular response to low oxygen levels. Its molecular weight usually ranges from 93 to 120 kDa. You can find HIF-1 alpha expressed in tissues throughout the body but its expression significantly increases under hypoxic conditions. Researchers often use the HIF-1a ELISA to measure its expression levels. HIF-1 alpha forms a complex with other proteins to perform its functions effectively.
Biological function summary
HIF-1 alpha regulates gene expression in response to hypoxic conditions in cells. It forms a complex with HIF-1 beta to activate transcription of various genes involved in energy metabolism angiogenesis and erythropoiesis. HIF-1 alpha enables cells to adapt to reduced oxygen availability allowing for cellular survival and function under stress. It plays an important role in promoting the expression of genes like VEGF and EPO which are important for vascular and red blood cell development respectively.
Pathways
HIF-1 alpha plays an integral role in the hypoxia signaling pathway and the glycolytic pathway. In the hypoxia signaling pathway HIF-1 alpha partners with VHL (Von Hippel-Lindau) protein that regulates its degradation under normal oxygen conditions. When oxygen levels drop HIF-1 alpha avoids degradation stabilizes and translocates into the nucleus to initiate transcription of hypoxia-responsive genes. The glycolytic pathway involvement highlights its function in adapting energy production under hypoxic conditions through collaboration with enzymes and transporters associated with glycolysis.
HIF-1 alpha has been implicated in cancer and ischemic diseases. Its role in promoting angiogenesis and metabolic adaptation makes it a contributor to tumor growth and survival collaborating with oncogenes such as c-Myc. In ischemic diseases like stroke or myocardial infarction HIF-1 alpha's ability to induce protective responses can mitigate tissue damage through regulation of survival pathways. Understanding these interactions helps in the development of therapeutic strategies targeting HIF-1 alpha in disease contexts.
