Nrf2 Toolbox

Nrf2 is an important transcription factor (TF) in the defense against oxidative stress and has been linked to diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes and cancer. Fortunately, Nrf2 agonists and inhibitors are being developed as therapeutic options.

Active Motif can support early stage Nrf2 research, screening and compound mechanism-of-action studies with our range of Nrf2 products and services.
