Functiondisease:Defects in KEAP1 may be a cause of breast cancer.,disease:Defects in KEAP1 may be involved in non small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) and lung adenocarcinoma.,domain:The Kelch repeats mediate interaction with NF2L2/NRF2, BPTF and PGAM5.,enzyme regulation:Ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of PGAM5 is inhibited by oxidative stress and sulforaphane.,function:Retains NFE2L2/NRF2 in the cytosol. Functions as substrate adapter protein for the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex formed by CUL3 and RBX1. 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. May also retain BPTF in the cytosol. Targets PGAM5 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome.,PTM:Ubiquitinated and subject to proteasomal degra
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm . Nucleus . Mainly cytoplasmic (PubMed:15601839). In response to selective autophagy, relocalizes to inclusion bodies following interaction with SQSTM1/p62 (PubMed:20452972). .
ExpressionBroadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle.
Backgroundkelch like ECH associated protein 1(KEAP1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a protein containing KELCH-1 like domains, as well as a BTB/POZ domain. Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 interacts with NF-E2-related factor 2 in a redox-sensitive manner and the dissociation of the proteins in the cytoplasm is followed by transportation of NF-E2-related factor 2 to the nucleus. This interaction results in the expression of the catalytic subunit of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
