Furthermore, the vital function of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap 1)–Nrf2 signalling pathway in cancer progression is underscored by its capacity to govern the expression of a multitude of genes that influence apoptosis, cellular survival, proliferation, inflammation and the spread of tumours, thereby ensuring the survival of cancer cells [24]. The gene discussed is KEAP1; the disease is neoplasm.
