SYNONYMS

bHLHe73; PASD2; PAS domain-containing protein 2; Member of PAS protein 2; MOP2; Hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha; HLF; HIF2A; HIF2-alpha; HIF-2-alpha; HIF-1-alpha-like factor; Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1; EPAS-1; Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 73; Basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS protein MOP2

FUNCTION

Heterodimerizes with ARNT; heterodimer binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-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 requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBBP and probably EP300. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD. Transcription factor involved in the induction of oxygen regulated genes.
