Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P4502S1 (CYP2S1) is expressed at high levels in epithelial tissues and is inducible by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin) via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). Transcriptional initiation of mouse Cyp2s1 was found to occur at three regions, approximately 198, 102, and 22 nucleotides from the translational initiation codon. Approximately 400 nucleotides upstream of its translational...
