Abstract excerpt
Keap1 is the substrate recognition module of a Cullin 3-based E3 ubiquitin ligase. Its primary role is to catalyze the ubiquitylation of the Nrf2 transcription factor. Oxidative stress blocks the E3 ligase activity of Keap1 which stabilizes Nrf2 allowing it to drive the expression of certain anti...
