Molecular investigation of Keap1-dependent regulation of the Nrf2 cell defence pathway
2014-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian cells have evolved highly regulated defence pathways, which are activated in response to stress. The transcription factor Nrf2 is activated in response to chemical and oxidative stress and induces the expression of antioxidants and detoxification enzymes. Nrf2 activity is regulated by its cysteine-rich repressor protein Keap1, which facilitates Nrf2 degradation. In the presence of electrophilic compounds...
