Rabbit Anti-KEAP1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated Protein 1, Cytosolic Inhibitor of Nrf2, INrf2, Kelch-like Protein 19, INRF2, KIAA0132, KLHL19) (MaxLight 550)
MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.
Anti-oxidant defense is known to be regulated by various mechanisms including the usage of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Under normal physiological conditions, Nrf2 is bound to Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), a cytoplasmic repressor. Keap1 also acts as a substrate adaptor for Cullin3-dependent ubiquitin ligase and also targets Nrf2 for degradation by proteosomes. The substrate adaptor function of Keap1 is inactivated during physiological stress. In this respective condition, a range of oxidative and electrophilic stimuli such as ROS, diethyl malonate, and certain disease processes, resulting from Nrf2 accumulation, enters the nucleus and thereby activates the expression of select anti-oxidant genes. Such genes promote the detoxification of ROS and other harmful molecules, which contribute to the carcinogenesis.
