Recombinant Human Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPAS1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q99814

Target Species

Human

Target Name

EPAS1

Target Full Name

Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1

Target Function

Transcription factor involved in the induction of oxygen regulated genes. 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 APEX1 seems to activate CTAD.

Target Involvement

Erythrocytosis, familial, 4 (ECYT4)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Nucleus speckle.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in most tissues, with highest levels in placenta, lung and heart. Selectively expressed in endothelial cells.
