GlossaryNuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)

regulates antioxidant proteins to protect cells from oxidative stress

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cellular defense against oxidative stress by regulating the expression of antioxidant proteins. It helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and other reactive molecules, which is important for maintaining healthy hair and preventing conditions like alopecia.
