Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1; EPAS-1; Basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS protein MOP2; Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 73; bHLHe73; HIF-1-alpha-like factor; HLF; Hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha; HIF-2-alpha; HIF2-alpha; Member of PAS protein 2; PAS domain-containing protein 2; EPAS1; BHLHE73, HIF2A, MOP2, PASD2

Transcription factor involved in the induction of oxygen regulated genes. Heterodimerizes with ARNT; heterodimer binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TACGTG-3' within the hypoxia response element (HRE) of target gene promoters (By similarity) . Regulates the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and seems to be implicated in the development of blood vessels and the tubular system of lung. May also play a role in the formation of the endothelium that gives rise to the blood brain barrier. Potent activator of the Tie-2 tyrosine kinase expression. Activation requires recruitment of transcriptional coactivators such as CREBBP and probably EP300. Interaction with redox regulatory protein APEX seems to activate CTAD (By similarity) .
