Abstract excerpt
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is the main transcriptional regulator of many enzymes that metabolize xenobiotics such as P450s and drug transporters. Polymorphisms in the PXR gene contribute to population variability in CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein levels. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported in Caucasian, African-American and Japanese populations. In the present study, we identified the known...
