Abstract

Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), an epoxide detoxifying enzyme and putative cell surface autoantigen, is inducible by xenobiotics and by certain pathophysiological conditions. The present study was designed to determine mEH expression in H4IIE cells during cell death initiated by sulfur amino acid deprivation (SAAD) and to identify the signaling pathway for the enzyme induction.(omitted)
