Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor NFE2L1 (NFE2L1)

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor NFE2L1: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane sensor that translocates into the nucleus in response to various stresses to act as a transcription factor (PubMed:20932482, PubMed:24448410). Constitutes a precursor of the transcription factor NRF1 (By similarity).

Willing to detect various cellular stresses, such as cholesterol surplus, oxidative stress or proteasome inhibition (PubMed:20932482). In response to pressure, it is released from the endoplasmic reticulum membrane following cleavage by the protease DDI2 and translocates into the nucleus to form the transcription factor NRF1 (By similarity).
