Abstract

Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) is constitutively and inducibly expressed preferentially in liver of mice, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the expression of CYP1A2 have not yet been fully clarified. In this study, CpG sites of the Cyp1a2 promoter in liver were found to be hypomethylated in a site-specific pattern compared to those in lung and kidney.(omitted)
