Summary of KEAP1
The gene codes for a protein, kelch like ECH associated protein 1. An interaction causes expression of a catalytic subunit [R].
The Function of KEAP1
Acts as a substrate adapter protein for the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex formed by CUL3 and RBX1 and targets NFE2L2/NRF2 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome, thus resulting in the suppression of its transcriptional activity and the repression of antioxidant response element-mediated detoxifying enzyme gene expression. Retains NFE2L2/NRF2 and may also retain BPTF in the cytosol. Targets PGAM5 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome.

Technical
The following transcription factors affect gene expression:
Tissue specificity:
Broadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle.
Gene Pathways:
Enzyme Regulation:
Ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of PGAM5 is inhibited by oxidative stress and sulforaphane. Sulforaphane also inhibits ubiquitination of NFE2L2/NRF2.
