Phenobarbital‐induced phosphorylation converts nuclear receptor ROR α from a repressor to an activator of the estrogen sulfotransferase gene Sult1e1 in mouse livers

Abstract excerpt

The estrogen sulfotransferase SULT1E1 sulfates and inactivates estrogen, which is reactivated via desulfation by steroid sulfatase, thus regulating estrogen homeostasis. Phenobarbital (PB), a clinical sedative, activates Sult1e1 gene transcription in mouse livers. Here, the molecular mechanism by which the nuclear receptors CAR, which is targeted by PB, and RORα communicate through phosphorylation to regulate...
