Example Sentences

Recent Examples on the Web The crucial molecule in the system that matches cell physiology to oxygen availability is a protein complex called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). The Economist, 12 Oct. 2019 Semenza is credited with identifying a set of DNA-binding proteins called hypoxia-inducible factor, or HIF, which spur the hypoxia response and activates the genes that make erythropoietin. Jennifer Leman, Popular Mechanics, 8 Oct. 2019 Semenza discovered a protein complex called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which is composed of two transcription factors—proteins that control the transcription of DNA into RNA—called HIF-1α and ARNT. Tanya Lewis, Scientific American, 7 Oct. 2019 The prize was specifically related to Semenza’s work on a protein called hypoxia-inducible factor 1, or HIF-1, that switches genes on and off in cells in response to low oxygen levels.
