Fig 1 Oxygen-dependent regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-α protein. The blue arrows represent the sequence of events that occur during normoxia, whereas red lines and arrows indicate those that happen during hypoxia. The arrows (→) indicate positive effect, and perpendicular lines (┤) mean inhibitory effect.
