General description

GA-binding protein alpha chain (UniProt Q00422; also known as GA repeat binding protein alpha, GABP subunit alpha, GABPalpha, NRF-2, Nuclear respiratory factor-2) is encoded by the Gabpa gene (also known as E4tf1a) in murine species (Gene ID 14390). GABPalpha is a redox-responsive transcription factor that plays an anti-oxidant, pro-survival role in mitochondrial biogenesis process. GABPalpha is upregulated in response to oxidant exposure or increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), where it mediates the transcription of mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA) that is needed for mitochondrial DNA transcription.
