CYP3A4 is the most abundant cytochrome P450 (P450) in human liver, comprising approximately 30% of the total liver P450 content. This enzyme has an important role in steroid catabolism and metabolism of foreign compounds, with the majority of pharmaceutical compounds being substrates for CYP3A4. The molecular mechanisms that underlie transcriptional activation of CYP3A4 are complex with many steroid hormone...
