ATXN3 increases the amount of SOD2. 3 / 5
| 3

reach
"Ataxin-3 has been shown to activate transcription factor forkhead box protein O4 (FOXO4) and induce the expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2), an antioxidant enzyme, under oxidative stress conditions; however, when ataxin-3 is expanded, this transcriptional activation effect is reduced and, in fact, SOD2 levels are decreased in SCA3 patients brain samples ."

reach
"ATXN3 interacts with and stabilizes the forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factor FOXO4, and upon oxidative stress they both translocate to the nucleus and activate manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) transcription which in turn protects cells from oxidative damage."

reach
"Finally and consistent with a regulatory role of ATXN3 in SOD2 expression, knockdown of endogenous ATXN3 by RNA interference represses the expression of SOD2."
