Genetic polymorphisms in the TATA box and upstream phenobarbital-responsive enhancer module of the UGT1A1 promoter have combined effects on UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 transcription mediated by constitutive androstane receptor, pregnane X receptor, or glucocorticoid receptor in human liver.

Abstract excerpt
Transcription of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 is regulated by the transcription factors, constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), pregnane X receptor (PXR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 1 alpha, and HNF4 alpha. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the genetic polymorphisms in the RNA polymerase II core promoter and the upstream phenobarbital-responsive...
