About Nfe2l2

Chromosome 2: 75,505,857-75,534,985 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000995.3

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 92 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bladder adult (RPKM 57.1), duodenum adult (RPKM 26.8) and 26 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a transcription factor which is a member of a small family of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins. The encoded transcription factor regulates genes which contain antioxidant response elements (ARE) in their promoters; many of these genes encode proteins involved in response to injury and inflammation which includes the production of free radicals.
