Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) interacting protein, also known as AIP, may play a positive role in AHR-mediated (aromatic hydrocarbon receptor) signaling, possibly by influencing its receptivity for ligand and/or its nuclear targeting. It is a Cellular negative regulator of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein. Also, AIP is a ubiquitously expressed protein, binds to HSP 90 and AHR through a highly conserved carboxy-terminal tetraticopeptide repeat domain. Purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-330 of human AIP, fused to His-tag at the N-terminal, expressed in E. coli (AAI04828).
