Gene Information

human ... NR1I3(9970)

Application

TCPOBOP has been used for enhancing Mcl-1-Italics promoter functions in mouse hepatoma cells. TCPOBOP has also been used to study constitutive androstane receptor(CAR)-induced gene expression in mouse hepatocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TCPOBOP enhances the nuclear receptor CAR transactivation of cytochrome P450 (CYP), as dose-dependent direct agonist of CAR. The most potent known member of the phenobarbital-like class of CYP-inducing agents.

It is well known that activating the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3) leads to a significant proliferation of liver cells, which suggests that NR1I3 could be a therapeutic target for the partial resection of this organ. Studies describing NR1I3-mediated proliferative

Viruses often encompass overlapping reading frames and unconventional translation mechanisms in order to maximize the output from a minimum genome and to orchestrate their timely gene expression. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) possesses such an unconventional open reading frame (ORF) within

Diverse etiologic events are associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. During hepatocarcinogenesis, genetic events likely occur that subsequently cooperate with long-term exposures to further drive the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study, the frequent loss of the retinoblastoma

Activation of the nuclear receptor and transcription factor CAR (Nr1i3) by its specific agonist ligand TCPOBOP (1, 4-bis[2-(3, 5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene) dysregulates hundreds of genes in mouse liver and is linked to male-biased hepatocarcinogenesis.
