Anti-NRF-2 / NRF2L2

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. NFE2L2 (nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2) also known as NRF2 or NFE2-RELATED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 2, is a transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the NFE2L2 gene. NFE2, NFE2L1, and NFE2L2 comprise a family of human genes encoding basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors. NFE2L2 induces the expression of various genes including those that encode for several antioxidant enzymes, and it may play a physiological role in the regulation of oxidative stress. The NFE2L2 gene is located on 2q31.2. The identification of somatic mutations that disrupt the NRF2-KEAP1 interaction to stabilize NRF2 and increase the constitutive transcription of NRF2 target genes indicated that enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification and additional NRF2 functions may in fact be tumorigenic. Oncogene-directed increased expression of Nrf2 is a mechanism for the activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant program evident in primary cells and tissues of mice expressing KRas(G12D) and BRaf(V619E), and in human pancreatic cancer. Protein function: Transcription factor that plays a key role in the response to oxidative stress: binds to antioxidant response (ARE) elements present in the promoter region of many cytoprotective genes, such as phase 2 detoxifying enzymes, and promotes their expression, thereby neutralizing reactive electrophiles (PubMed:11035812, PubMed:19489739, PubMed:29018201, PubMed:31398338). In normal conditions, ubiquitinated and degraded in the cytoplasm by the BCR(KEAP1) complex (PubMed:11035812, PubMed:15601839, PubMed:29018201). In response to oxidative stress, electrophile metabolites inhibit activity of the BCR(KEAP1) complex, promoting nuclear accumulation of NFE2L2/NRF2, heterodimerization with one of the small Maf proteins and binding to ARE elements of cytoprotective target genes (PubMed:19489739, PubMed:29590092). The NFE2L2/NRF2 pathway is also activated in response to selective autophagy: autophagy promotes interaction between KEAP1 and SQSTM1/p62 and subsequent inactivation of the BCR(KEAP1) complex, leading to NFE2L2/NRF2 nuclear accumulation and expression of cytoprotective genes (PubMed:20452972). May also be involved in the transcriptional activation of genes of the beta-globin cluster by mediating enhancer activity of hypersensitive site 2 of the beta-globin locus control region (PubMed:7937919).
