Identification of oleoylethanolamide as an endogenous ligand for HIF-3α

Whether hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) can be directly regulated by endogenous small molecules is a long-standing question. Here authors identified the metabolite oleoylethanolamide as a HIF-3α ligand and further revealed its mechanism of action.
