    HIF-1 Activity can be Inhibited by PRKCBP1 in the Heart
    Role Description: We will demonstrate that PRKCBP1 is a regulator of HIF-1 activity, likely through chromatin remodeling. Our goals in this project are to identify the mechanisms by which PRKCBP1 modulates the HIF response and define its role in ischemic heart disease. Our identification of a new oxygen-dependent and previously unsuspected regulator of HIF may provide a target for new therapeutic approaches to ischemic heart disease.
    Role: PI

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
