products description :
Background Info: Does not cross react with HIF1Alpha. Scientific Background: Members of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) family of transcription factors regulate the cellular response to hypoxia (1). HIF2-Alpha is involved in catecholamine homeostasis, vascular remodeling, physiological angiogenesis and adipogenesis. It is overexpressed in many cancerous tissues, but its exact role in tumour progression remains to be clarified (2). Studies suggest that in the case of non-small cell lung cancer, HIF2-Alpha actually is a promoter of tumor growth and progression in a solid tumor (1). Other data suggests that HIF2-Alpha is an important regulator of innate immunity, and therefore may be useful in the therapeutic target for treating inflammatory disorders and cancer (3).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a transcription factor involved in the induction of genes regulated by oxygen, which is induced as oxygen levels fall. The encoded protein contains a basic-helix-loop-helix domain protein dimerization domain as well as a domain found in proteins in signal transduction pathways which respond to oxygen levels. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythrocytosis familial type 4. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
uniprot summary :
HIF2A: Transcription factor involved in the induction of oxygen regulated genes. Binds to core DNA sequence 5 -[AG]CGTG-3 within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters. Regulates the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and seems to be implicated in the development of blood vessels and the tubular system of lung. May also play a role in the formation of the endothelium that gives rise to the blood brain barrier. Potent activator of the Tie-2 tyrosine kinase expression. Activation seems to require recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBPB and probably EP300. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD. Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Heterodimerizes with ARNT. Interacts with CREBBP. Interacts with EGLN1. Interacts with VHL. Expressed in most tissues, with highest levels in placenta, lung and heart. Selectively expressed in endothelial cells. Protein type: DNA-binding; Transcription factor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p21-p16. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; transcription factor complex; cytosol. Molecular Function: histone acetyltransferase binding; signal transducer activity; protein binding; DNA binding; protein heterodimerization activity; sequence-specific DNA binding; transcription factor binding. Biological Process: transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; mitochondrion organization and biogenesis; myoblast cell fate commitment; embryonic placenta development; regulation of heart rate; somatic stem cell maintenance; cell maturation; norepinephrine metabolic process; signal transduction; iron ion homeostasis; visual perception; response to hypoxia; erythrocyte differentiation; blood vessel remodeling; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; angiogenesis; regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter in response to oxidative stress; surfactant homeostasis; lung development.
