Facts about Transcription regulator protein BACH2.
Plays an essential role in coordinating transcription activation and repression by MAFK (PubMed:8887638). Induces apoptosis in response to oxidative stress through repression of the antiapoptotic factor HMOX1 (By similarity).

PMID: 8887638 by Oyake T., et al. Bach proteins belong to a novel family of BTB-basic leucine zipper transcription factors that interact with MafK and regulate transcription through the NF-E2 site.
PMID: 10809773 by Hoshino H., et al. Oxidative stress abolishes leptomycin B-sensitive nuclear export of transcription repressor Bach2 that counteracts activation of Maf recognition element.
