Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) is constitutively expressed in human liver and is responsible for the metabolic bioactivation of a wide variety of xenobiotics, including a number of protoxins and procarcinogens. CYP2E1 expression is regulated at several levels including pre-transcriptional, transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, and any variation in enzyme concentration and hence activity may represent...
