| Abstract: | The bovine pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I (DNAase I) hypersensitivity of the rat cytochrome P450IA1 gene was investigated. A nuclease-hypersensitive region was observed at approximately 3.2 to 5.1 kilobase pairs upstream of exon 1 in adult and fetal rat liver. This region did not necessarily correlate with gene expression following 3-methylcholanthrene induction, although it may determine the potential for inducibility of this gene. |
