Abstract

Antioxidant responsive element (ARE) mediates the transcriptional activation of the genes encoding phase II drug metabolizing enzymes and antioxidative stress genes. The ARE consensus sequence shows high similarity to NF-E2 binding sequence, a cisacting erythroid gene regulatory element.(omitted)
