NRF2 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a transcription factor which is a member of a small family of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins. The encoded transcription factor regulates genes which contain antioxidant response elements (ARE) in their promoters; many of these genes encode proteins involved in response to injury and inflammation which includes the production of free radicals. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

NRF2: a transcription factor that regulates basal expression and antioxidant induction of a transcription factor for NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) and other detoxifying genes. Targeted for proteasomal degradation by INrf2. Oxidative stress causes its phosphorylation and release from INrf2.
