additional information | genotype analysis of the EPHX1 intron 1 polymorphism in the Lancaster County Old Order Amish population, identification of heterozygous mutations in human EPHX1 that result in a 95% decrease in mEH expression levels. EPHX1 transcription is significantly inhibited by two heterozygous mutations observed in the Old Order Amish population that present numerous hypercholanemic subjects in the absence of liver damage suggesting a defect in bile acid transport into the hepatocyte. The identity of the regulatory proteins binding to these sites, established using biotinylated oligonucleotides in conjunction with mass spectrometry is poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) (bound to the EPHX1 proximal promoter) and a linker histone complex, H1.2/Aly (bound to a regulatory intron 1 site). High frequency of the H1.2 site polymorphism in the Amish population results in a potential genetic predisposition to hypercholanemia | Homo sapiens |

malfunction | 95% decrease in microsomal epoxide hydrolase expression levels is associated with a decrease in bile acid transport and severe hypercholanemia. EPHX1 transcription is significantly inhibited by two heterozygous mutations observed in the Old Order Amish population that present numerous hypercholanemic subjects in the absence of liver damage suggesting a defect in bile acid transport into the hepatocyte. High frequency of the H1.2 site polymorphism in the Amish population results in a potential genetic predisposition to hypercholanemia | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is a bifunctional protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of numerous xenobiotics as well as mediating the sodium-dependent transport of bile acids into hepatocytes. These compounds are involved in cholesterol homeostasis, lipid digestion, excretion of xenobiotics and the regulation of several nuclear receptors and signaling transduction pathways. The type I form of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is expressed on the hepatocyte endoplasmic reticulum membrane plays a central role in the metabolism of numerous xenobiotics. The type II form is targeted to the plasma membrane where it can mediate the sodium-dependent transport of bile acids in parallel with the sodium-taurocholate cotransporting protein (Ntcp) | Homo sapiens |
