title: Activation by diverse xenochemicals of the 51-base pair phenobarbital-responsive enhancer module in the CYP2B10 gene.
abstract: By extending previous studies of the phenobarbital (PB)-responsive 132-base pair (bp) enhancer sequence in the CYP2B10 gene, we have delimited a 51-bp enhancer element that is fully inducible by PB in mouse primary hepatocytes. Sixteen structurally unrelated phenobarbital-type inducers activated the 51-bp enhancer element in transient transfection assays. The results thus indicate that most PB-type inducers, if not all inducers, increase the transcription of the CYP2B10 gene by activating this 51-bp element, now designated PB-responsive enhancer module or PBREM.
