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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been characterized for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015] CIViC Summary for NFE2L2 Gene
A study in mice demonstrated that the NFE2L2 is a transcriptional regulator whose target genes were enriched in the differentially expressed genes of a small cardiac myocyte sub-cluster from epicardial-derived cells in a model of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy [Yuan et al. DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.120.052928]. In human and mouse studies of sepsis-induced acute lung injury, the NFE2L2 was identified as a core hub gene in a seven-gene blood molecular signature for differentiating disease progression, was part of a premium three-gene diagnostic signature validated by machine learning, and its expression was significantly correlated with acute lung injury scores and validated in a mouse sepsis model [Sun et al. DOI:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.136961]. A study in human postmortem brain tissue from forensic autopsy cases demonstrated that the NFE2L2 mRNA expression was significantly lower in methamphetamine intoxication and hyperthermia deaths but higher in phenobarbital intoxication and hypothermia deaths compared to other causes [Du et al. DOI:10.1007/S12024-017-9896-Z]. These specific expression patterns indicate that the NFE2L2 is involved in distinct antioxidant responses associated with different etiologies of death, suggesting its utility for evaluating brain damage and pathological responses in a forensic molecular pathology context.
