NRF1

NRF1 (Nuclear Respiratory Factor 1) is a protein that functions as a transcription factor, meaning it helps control the activity of specific genes. Its primary role is to regulate the production of certain proteins necessary for mitochondrial function—the energy-producing structures within our cells. By activating these genes, NRF1 supports energy generation, cellular growth, and overall cell health. It plays an important role in maintaining energy balance, especially in tissues that require a lot of power, such as muscles and the brain. Proper NRF1 activity is crucial for cellular vitality and metabolic regulation.
