Description: Homo sapiens kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_203500): 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

ID:KEAP1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1; AltName: Full=Cytosolic inhibitor of Nrf2; Short=INrf2; AltName: Full=Kelch-like protein 19; FUNCTION: Retains NFE2L2/NRF2 in the cytosol. Functions as substrate adapter protein for the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex formed by CUL3 and RBX1. Targets NFE2L2/NRF2 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome, thus resulting in the suppression of its transcriptional activity and the repression of antioxidant response element-mediated detoxifying enzyme gene expression. May also retain BPTF in the cytosol. Targets PGAM5 for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. ENZYME REGULATION: Ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of PGAM5 is inhibited by oxidative stress and sulforaphane. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Forms a ternary complex with NFE2L2 and PGAM5. Interacts with the N-terminal regulatory domain of NFE2L2/NRF2. Interacts with BPTF and PTMA. Interacts with CUL3. Part of a complex that contains KEAP1, CUL3 and RBX1. Interacts with NFE2L1.

Nucleus. Note=Shuttles between cytoplasm and nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Broadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle. DOMAIN: The Kelch repeats mediate interaction with NF2L2/NRF2, BPTF and PGAM5. PTM: Ubiquitinated and subject to proteasomal degradation. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BACK (BTB/Kelch associated) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 6 Kelch repeats. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA09481.3; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
