The phrase "able to upregulate the expression of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts, particularly in biology or genetics, to describe the ability of a substance or process to increase the expression of a gene or protein.
Example: "The compound was found to be able to upregulate the expression of the target gene, leading to increased protein production."
Alternatives: "capable of enhancing the expression of" or "able to increase the expression of".
When these ZFPs were fused to a nuclear localization signal and the maize C1 activation domain, four of the five resulting ZFP-TFs were able to upregulate the expression of the GMT gene in leaf protoplast transient assays.

Meanwhile, the miR-29a inhibitor was able to upregulate the expression of PTEN at the levels of mRNA and protein (Fig. 3D).
α-Tocopherol was able to upregulate the expression of PPARγ at concentrations greater than 100 μM in primary hepatocytes.
However, cytokines alone were able to upregulate the expression of CD69 in NK cells from SIRS and sepsis patients.
Moreover, mIL-10 was able to upregulate the expression of the intracellular negative regulator of cytokine responses, SOCS3.
GADD153/CHOP is a proapoptotic protein that is able to downregulate the expression of Bcl-2, and to upregulate the expression of some proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family[ 47, 48].
Cysteamine is able to enhance the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase protein and of the Nurr1 gene (now known as Nr4a2), and to upregulate the expression of the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
