Description

Applications tBHQ is an antioxidant in induction of AP-1, NF-κB, and glutathione S-transferase gene expression. It also disrupts ability of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1) to target Nrf2, a bZIP transcription factor, for proteasome-mediated degradation and promote nuclear accumulation of Nrf2.
