NFE2L2 and atherosclerosis: Nrf2 (nuclear factor [erythroid‐derived 2]‐like 2) transcription factor is also known as NFE2L2. Nrf2 is essential for inflammasome activation and exacerbates atherosclerosis without altering lipid metabolism (see reference 26 in the text). Nrf2 increases the expression of several antioxidant enzymes.
