Abstract excerpt
The human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) is a xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptor that transcriptionally regulates drug metabolism-related genes. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism by which hPXR is regulated through threonine-408. A phosphomimetic mutation at threonine-408 (T408D) reduced the transcriptional activity of hPXR and its protein stability in HepG2 and SW480 cells in vitro and...
