Nuclear factor Erythroid-derived 2-like 2 pathway

Molecular classification
Transcription factor pathway, Signaling pathway
01

Overview

The Nrf2 pathway is a crucial cellular defense mechanism against oxidative and electrophilic stress. Activation of the Nrf2 pathway leads to the transcription of a wide array of cytoprotective genes involved in antioxidant responses, detoxification, and maintenance of redox homeostasis. Dysregulation of the Nrf2 pathway is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
