KEAP1 Antibody: KEAP1 (kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1) is a stress sensing adaptor for the Cullin3 (Cul3)-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that negatively regulates NRF2 (NF-E2-related factor 2) and plays a role in the oxidative stress response. It targets NFE2L2/NRF2 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. KEAP1 contains an amino terminal BTB/POZ domain and a carboxyl terminal KELCH domain which are required for interaction with NRF2, and in binding Cul3-E3 ubiquitin ligase. Altered expression of NRF2 is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). KEAP1 also targets the down regulation of NF-κB activity by targeting IKKβ degradation. Mutation of the KEAP1 gene is found in lung cancer.1) Zhang DD, Lo SC, Cross JV, et al. Keap1 is a redox-regulated substrate adaptor protein for a Cul3-dependent ubiquitin ligase complex. Mol. Cell.
