TABLE 2

Summary of potential TR response elements in the SLCO2B1 1b and SLCO2B1 1e promoter region

Analysis was performed using the publically available NUBIscan software. Response element marked with † exhibited the highest score in the in silico analysis for this particular motif. Response element highlighted in bold had the highest score in the analysis of the respective promoter fragment. Response element marked with * was previously reported to be the most likely HNF4α binding site, resulting in constitutive activity of the promoter in cells, where this transcription factor is present (Knauer et al., 2013).
