Abstract excerpt
Human alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4) is one of the key enzymes involved in the metabolism of alcohol. ADH4 is highly expressed in the liver, and previous studies have revealed several cis-acting elements in the proximal promoter region. In this study we have identified a distal upstream enhancer, 4E, of ADH4. In HepG2 human hepatoma cells, 4E increased the activity of an ADH4 basal promoter by 50-fold. 4E was...
