KEAP1 codes for a KELCH-1 like domain-containing protein that interacts with NF-E2-related factor 2. KEPAP1 has been implicated in cell signaling pathways that regulate responses to environmental and oxidative stresses. Rabbit Anti-KEAP1 antibody recognizes pig, zebrafish, canine, bovine, human, mouse, and rat KEAP1.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human KEAP1
application
Rabbit Anti-KEAP1 antibody is suitable for western blot (0.5 μg/ml) applications.
Biochem/physiol Actions
KEAP1 contains 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.Western blots using two different antibodies against two unique regions of this protein target confirm the same apparent molecular weight in our tests.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.
