Scheme of ethanol induction of CYP2A5. Ethanol causes proliferation of SER and upregulates levels of CYP2E1. This leads to increased production of ROS. CYP2E1-mediated ROS activates the redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2, which in turn upregulates CYP2A5 expression. For details, please refer to the text.
