背景介绍 The Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway plays an important role in cellular antioxidant defense. Nrf2, a basic leucine zipper transcription factor, induces the expression of antioxidant and phase II enzymes by binding to the ARE (antioxidant response element) region of the gene promoter. Under basal conditions, Nrf2 is retained in the cytosol by binding to the cytoskeletal protein Keap1. Upon exposure to oxidative stress or other ARE activators, Nrf2 is released from Keap1 and translocates to the nucleus, where it can bind to the ARE, leading to the expression of antioxidant and phase II enzymes that protect the cell from oxidative damage. 产品介绍 The ARE Reporter - Hep G2 cell line is designed to monitor Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway. The cell contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of ARE (antioxidant response element) stably integrated into Hep G2 cells.
