- Background
- Hypoxia-inducible factor 3 alpha, also called MOP7, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIF3A gene. HIF3A is mapped to 19q13.32. This gene involved in adaptive response to hypoxia. HIF3A suppresses hypoxia-inducible expression of HIF1A and EPAS1. It binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters. The complex HIF3A-ARNT activates the transcription of reporter genes driven by HRE. This gene functions as an inhibitor of angiogenesis in the cornea.

- Tissue Specificity
- Expressed in vascular cells (at protein level) (PubMed:21069422). Expressed in kidney (PubMed:11573933, PubMed:19694616). Expressed in lung epithelial cells (PubMed:16775626). Expressed in endothelial cells (venous and arterial cells from umbilical cord and aortic endothelial cells) and in vascular smooth muscle cells (aorta) (PubMed:21069422). Strongly expressed in the heart, placenta, and skeletal muscle, whereas a weak expression profile was found in the lung, liver, and kidney (PubMed:12538644). Expressed weakly in cell renal cell carcinoma (CC-RCC) compared to normal renal cells (PubMed:16126907). Expression is down-regulated in numerous kidney tumor cells compared to non tumor kidney tissues (PubMed:16126907). Isoform 2 is expressed in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas and in numerous cancer cell lines (PubMed:20416395). Isoform 3 and isoform 4 are weakly expressed in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas (PubMed:20416395). Isoform 4 is expressed in fetal tissues, such as heart, brain, thymus, lung, liver, skeletal kidney and spleen (PubMed:20416395). Isoform 3 is weakly expressed in fetal tissues, such as liver and kidney (PubMed:20416395). .

- Function
- Acts as a transcriptional regulator in adaptive response to low oxygen tension. Acts as a regulator of hypoxia-inducible gene expression (PubMed:11573933, PubMed:16126907, PubMed:19694616, PubMed:20416395, PubMed:21069422). Functions as an inhibitor of angiogenesis in hypoxic cells of the cornea. Plays a role in the development of the cardiorespiratory system. May also be involved in apoptosis (By similarity). .
