response that contributes to protection against oxidative stress.

Under quiescent conditions, Nrf2 is retained in the cytoplasm through association with Keap1, which promotes ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis of Nrf2. This sequestration and degradation mechanism mediates repression of Nrf2-dependent transcriptional activity.

Keap1 has been characterized as both a tumor suppressor
