HIF-1α (HIF1A)

Short target page →

HIF-1α is the sensor that lets a tumour cope with low oxygen by switching on blood-vessel growth and sugar burning. It has no direct drug yet; belzutifan hits its sibling HIF-2α, and the mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus lowers HIF-1α levels indirectly. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

HIF-1α and HIF-2α share the ARNT partner and many hypoxia genes; the pathway record calls HIF-2α the oncogenic paralogue in renal cell carcinoma, which is why the approved inhibitor was built for that isoform and HIF-1α remains without a direct drug in the corpus.

Where it is found
  • Hypoxic regions of solid tumours
  • Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (VHL loss stabilises HIF-α)
