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.

n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.
