Involved in several processes, including aflatoxin catabolic process; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of cell migration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Used to study several diseases, including diabetic retinopathy; liver cirrhosis; middle cerebral artery infarction; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; and visual epilepsy. Biomarker of several diseases, including extrahepatic cholestasis; kidney failure (multiple); neurodegenerative disease (multiple); non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; cataract; hepatocellular carcinoma; macular degeneration; and tuberculosis. Orthologous to human NFE2L2 (NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
