Abstract excerpt
Ethanol-inducible CYP2E1 is an enzyme of major toxicological interest because it metabolizes several precarcinogens, drugs, and solvents to reactive metabolites.

Previously, polymorphic alleles with mutations in introns and in the 5'-flanking regulatory region have been described, and their presence has been...
