Human uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) plays important roles in the metabolism of some clinical drugs, carcinogens, and steroid hormones. The molecular mechanisms of the inducible expression of UGT2B7 in response to xenobiotics have not been fully clarified. We sought to investigate whether the UGT2B7 is under the control of NF-E2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a key transcriptional factor regulating the expression of cytoprotective enzymes.
