Abstract excerpt
Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) is a transcription factor belonging to the cap 'n' collar subfamily of the basic-leucine zipper (bZIP) family of transcription factors, which plays a significant role in adaptive responses to oxidative stress. Previously, we reported that NRF2 gene (NFE2L2) mutations correlate with poor prognosis of lung squamous cell carcinomas. We therefore hypothesized that an...
