abstract：:Keap1 is proposed to be a sensor protein of electrophilic compounds and a transducer of the signal from electrophilic compounds for transcriptional activation. Thus, the use of keap1 gene-knockout (KO) mice is a straightforward approach in order to clarify the molecular background for the use of electrophilies as neur...
