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).

The expression of Nrf2 is stimulated by oxidative stress, electrophiles and chemical activators (PMID: 25761198, PMID: 27638861 and PMID: 28587109). Nrf2 antibody (ab62352) detects no signal in most untreated samples in WB. Stimuli treated samples are recommended. We do not recommend using this product in western blot with tissue lysates, however some customers have used this antibody successfully using concentrated samples (see submitted abreviews).

Nrf2 acts as an important regulator of the cellular antioxidant response. It works in conjunction with its partner protein Keap1 forming a complex that controls its stability and degradation. Under normal conditions Keap1 keeps Nrf2 in the cytoplasm where it is targeted for ubiquitination and degradation. Once activated by oxidative stress or electrophiles Nrf2 dissociates from Keap1 thereby avoiding degradation and relocates to the nucleus to activate the transcription of ARE-dependent genes. This activity boosts the cellular response to oxidative stress by inducing genes involved in detoxification and cellular defense.
Nrf2 also known as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 is a transcription factor with a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa. It plays a mechanical role in regulating the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation. Nrf2 is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues including the liver lungs and skin. Nrf2 activation occurs when it translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus to bind the antioxidant response element (ARE) in the DNA starting transcription of target genes.
Nrf2 plays a significant role in the oxidative stress response and detoxification pathways. Nrf2 activation is linked closely to the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway which influences cell survival growth and metabolism. This pathway also interacts with other important proteins like GSK-3β which can modulate Nrf2 activity and stability. Through these pathways Nrf2 orchestrates a defense mechanism against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by boosting the expression of antioxidant enzymes and detoxifying proteins.
Nrf2 has been associated with conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer aberrant Nrf2 activation may lead to enhanced tumor survival by increasing expression of cytoprotective genes which makes cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy. Nrf2 also interacts with proteins such as p53 which play roles in tumor suppression and cellular stress responses. In neurodegenerative disorders reduced Nrf2 activity can contribute to oxidative stress leading to neuron damage and disease progression with proteins like amyloid-beta also being linked with oxidative processes affected by Nrf2 functionality.
