In the first work [37], they used a broadly reactive iodoacetamide alkyne (IA-alkyne, Figure 1) in lung cancer cell lines and identified three liganded proteins exclusive to KEAP1-mutant cells (KEAP1 is a negative regulator of the transcription factor NRF2, which in cancer cells induces expression of metabolic enzymes such as AKR1B10 to restore redox homeostasis). This evidence concerns the gene AKR1B10 and cancer.
