NRF1 (Nuclear respiratory factor 1)

Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating energy production in our cells. It helps control the expression of genes involved in the function of mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells that generate energy. NRF1 is essential for maintaining cellular health and metabolism, influencing processes such as respiration and energy balance. When functioning properly, it contributes to efficient energy production, but disruptions in NRF1 activity can be linked to various health issues, including metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, NRF1 is vital for overall cellular function and energy management.
