Gene: NFE2L2
Alternate names for this Gene: HEBP1|IMDDHH|NRF2|Nrf-2
Gene Summary: 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 characterized for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q31.2
Description of this Gene: nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
