LITERATURE
benzo[a]pyrene treatment of HepG2 cells (0.001 or 0.01 mM) induces GNMT expression
-
GNMT expression is down-regulated or even completely blocked in liver and prostate tumor tissue
GNMT expression is stimulated by androgen in androgen receptor expressing cells, the stimulation occurs at the mRNA and protein levels. Androgen receptor binds to an androgen response element within the first exon of the GNMT gene in vitro and in vivo
