Overexpression of NF-E2 related factor 2 via viral-mediated gene transfer in vivo.

The transcription factor NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is responsible for the upregulation of the cellular anti-oxidant defence system. Upon stimulation by free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS), the cytoplasmic-bound Nrf2 translocates to the nucleus and initiates transcription of genes cont...
