Kelch-Like ECH-Associated Protein 1MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Kelch-Like ECH-Associated Protein 1;
MeSH definition : An adaptor protein characterized by an N-terminal BTB-POZ DOMAIN and six KELCH REPEATS
that functions as a substrate for the E3 UBIQUITIN LIGASE complex. It negatively-regulates
NF-E2-RELATED FACTOR 2 by targeting it for ubiquitination and degradation by the PROTEASOME.
It also represses genes regulated by ANTIOXIDANT RESPONSE ELEMENTS.;
