NFE2L1 (Nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 1)

NFE2L1, also known as Nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 1, is a protein that plays a key role in protecting cells from stress and damage. It helps regulate the production of antioxidants—substances that neutralize harmful molecules called free radicals—and supports the proper function of our cells. NFE2L1 is involved in maintaining balance within cells, especially under conditions of stress or damage. Its activity influences how cells respond to injury, metabolic changes, and inflammation, making it important for overall cellular health and potentially impacting diseases related to aging, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
