摘要
外界环境的刺激会破坏生物体内的氧化还原平衡,产生氧化应激。为了应对氧化应激产生的毒性作用,体内细胞在进化过程中产生了复杂的机制来应对氧化应激,Keap1(Kelch-like Ech-associated protein-1)是抗氧化应答机制中最重要的分子之一。本文从Keap1的克隆和表达、定位及结构以及功能方面对Keap1在生物体内应对氧化应激所起的作用进行了综述。
Exogenous chemical insults can cause severe damage to the redox homeostasis of biomolecules and lead to oxidative stress reaction. In order to consult these toxicant reaction,eukaryotic cells have evolved complex defense mechanisms to cope with toxicant-induced oxidative stress. One of the most important cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress is mediated by the transcription factor Nrf2 and its parter Keap1. This article reviewed the clone,expression,location,structure and function of Keap1 and highlight the importance of Keap1 as a molecular target for disease prevention.
