Abstract excerpt
Human cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) catalyzes the metabolism of numerous xenobiotics, including acetaminophen and ethanol. CYP2E1 expression is known to be extensively regulated by post-transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms. A previous study had reported that a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 1561A>G in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of CYP2E1 leads to a decreased CYP2E1 mRNA level in human...
