NFE2L1 — Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Like 1

Overview

NFE2L1 (Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Like 1), also known as Nrf1 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 1), is a master transcriptional regulator of the antioxidant response and cellular proteostasis. As a member of the Cap'n'Collar (CNC) basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family, NFE2L1 activates genes containing Antioxidant Response Elements (AREs) in their promoters, coordinating a comprehensive defense network against oxidative stress and maintaining protein homeostasis—processes critically implicated in neurodegenerative diseases including [Alzheimer's disease](/diseases/alzheimers-disease), [Parkinson's disease](/diseases/parkinsons-disease), [Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)](/diseases/amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis), and [Huntington's disease](/diseases/huntington-disease).
