(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2034
Official gene symbolEPAS1
Full nameendothelial PAS domain protein 1
Aliases,ECYT4,HIF2A,HLF,MOP2,PASD2,bHLHe73,
Gene summaryThis 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]
