Abstract excerpt
Transcription factor Nrf2 regulates the basal and inducible expression of detoxifying and antioxidant genes. Recent studies using nrf2-null mice suggest that Nrf2 dysfunction might be involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases. To gain insight into the relationship between impairment in the NRF2 gene and human diseases, we attempted to identify polymorphisms in the human NRF2 gene. We determined the structure...
