Abstract excerpt
Nuclear factor Nrf 2, under normal conditions, is retained in the cytosol by INrf 2. Antioxidants and oxidants antagonize this interaction, resulting in the release of Nrf 2. Nrf 2 translocates to the nucleus binds to ARE and activates a battery of chemopreventive genes. Once this is achieved, Nrf 2 is exported out of the nucleus, binds with INrf 2, and degrades. Nrf 2 contains well defined signals that control...
