General description

Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (UniProt Q16656; also known as Alpha-pal, Alpha palindromic-binding protein, NRF-1) is encoded by the NRF1 (Also known as ALPHA-PAL) gene (Gene ID 4899) in human. NRF-1 is a redox-responsive transcription factor that plays an anti-oxidant, pro-survival role in mitochondrial biogenesis process. NRF-1 is upregulated and activated/phosphorylated by Akt in response to oxidant exposure or increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in NRF-1 nuclear translocation, where it binds to DNA as a homodimer and mediates the transcription of mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA) that is needed for mitochondrial DNA transcription.
