ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMetenamine belongs to the family of Aminals. These are organic compounds containing the aminal functional group. Metenamine is an antimicrobial food preservative, but is of limited use and usage is declining. It is used to prevent "late blowing" of hard cheese by inhibiting growth of unwanted bacteria. Presently (2002) its European use is limited to one type of Italian cheese, Provolone. It acts by releasing formaldehyde under acidic conditions.

Targets

Target Details
1. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2
General Function:
Transcriptional activator activity, rna polymerase ii distal enhancer sequence-specific binding
Specific Function:
Transcription activator that binds to antioxidant response (ARE) elements in the promoter regions of target genes. Important for the coordinated up-regulation of genes in response to oxidative stress. May be involved in the transcriptional activation of genes of the beta-globin cluster by mediating enhancer activity of hypersensitive site 2 of the beta-globin locus control region.
