Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NFE2L2) encodes Nrf2, transcription factor of antioxidative genes. In the presence of reactive oxygen species, Keap1 (Kelch-ECH-associating protein-1) inhibitor complex undergoes conformational changes disrupting Keap1-Nrf2 binding and Nrf2 translocates into nucleus. We evaluated the presence of mutations in NFE2L2 and KEAP1 in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) and...
