Abstract excerpt
Transcription factor nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) controls cellular adaptation to oxidants and electrophiles by inducing antioxidant and detoxification genes in response to redox stress. NRF2 is negatively regulated by Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1). Tumours from approximately 15% of patients with lung cancer harbour somatic mutations in KEAP1 that prevent effective NRF2...
