Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in the transportation of NF-E2-related factor 2 to the nucleus of a cell. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer.

KEAP1 is altered in 3.43% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, squamous cell lung carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in KEAP1 are KEAP1 Mutation (2.74%), KEAP1 Amplification (0.29%), KEAP1 Loss (0.09%), KEAP1 R362Q (0.05%), and KEAP1 R320L (0.03%) [3].
