ABSTRACT
Alcohol induced liver injury has been studied extensively. Using literature search and bioinformatics tools, the present study characterizes the genes involved in alcohol induced liver injury. The cellular and metabolic processes in which genes involved in alcohol induced liver injury are implicated are also discussed. The genes related to alcohol induced liver injury are also involved in affecting certain molecular functions and metabolism of drugs, besides being associated with diseases. In conclusion, the changes in regulation of genes implicated in alcohol induced liver injury apart from causing alcohol mediated hepatic dysfunction may affect other vital processes in the body.
