Abstract excerpt
Under homeostatic conditions, Keap1 constitutively mediates the proteasomal degradation Nrf2. However, tertiary changes in Keap1 in response to the cellular environment allow for liberation of Nrf2 to transcriptionally regulate downstream cytoprotective genes that aid in cell survival. KEAP1/NRF2 somatic mutations causing constitutive NRF2 activation have been estimated to occur in approximately 25% of human lung...
