Keap1 - Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1

Predicted to enable disordered domain specific binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of gene expression; response to thyroid hormone; and selenium compound metabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; focal adhesion; and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of diabetic retinopathy; end stage renal disease; and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gallbladder cancer. Orthologous to human KEAP1 (kelch like ECH associated protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
