DETAILS

Description (English)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycitein is a soybean (yellow cultivar) isoflavonoid; its natural glycosides are synergistic with genistein in inducing specific gene expression. Glycitein may be used to study anti-oxidation processes at the level of gene transcription where it increases the binding of transcription factors [nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and c-Jun] to the antioxidant response element (ARE) on HO-1 and NQO1 promoters. Glycitein may be used in combination with other isoflavonoids such as genistein and daidzein to study apoptosis.
