Organisms, including mammals, are constantly exposed to oxidative stress due to oxygen consumption during aerobic respiration and xenobiotic chemicals in their diet and/or the environment. Mammalian cells are equipped with sophisticated machinery for cell protection against oxidative and xenobiotic stress. NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a potent transcription activator that plays a central role in regulating the expression of genes encoding detoxifying enzymes and antioxidant proteins by binding to the antioxidant response element (ARE)/electrophile response element (EpRE). Nrf2 is a member of the Cap’n’Collar (CNC) transcription factor family that commonly contains a unique stretch of amino acids, designated the CNC domain, followed by a well-conserved basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) motif. Under unstressed conditions, Nrf2 is ubiquitinated by kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and degraded by the proteasome in the cytoplasm. Upon exposure to oxidative or xenobiotic stress, Nrf2 is stabilized, translocates into the nucleus, heterodimerizes with small Maf, another bZIP protein, binds to the ARE/EpRE, and activates transcription. Recent studies have clarified the intricate molecular mechanisms of Nrf2 activation in response to stress and revealed the involvement of Nrf2 in many human diseases including neurodegeneration, airway disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This review covers the historical aspects of the discovery of Nrf2, recent advances in molecular studies of Nrf2 function, updated reports on the involvement of Nrf2 in various pathological conditions, and perspectives of Nrf2 utilization for human welfare.
