Notes: The Nrf2-response element luciferase was used to measure transcriptional activity of a novel transcriptional activator Plant Homeodomain Finger 2 (Phf2). Interestingly, Phf2 was identified to protect the liver from Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) through histone demethylation. CGSH/GSSG-Glo™ was used to monitor glutathione content in the liver, while the ApoTox-Glo™ assay was used to monitor for cell viability and toxicity. (5179)
