Synthesized peptide derived from human AHR AA range: 408-458
The protein encoded by this gene is a ligand-activated helix-loop-helix transcription factor involved in the regulation of biological responses to planar aromatic hydrocarbons. This receptor has been shown to regulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450. Before ligand binding, the encoded protein is sequestered in the cytoplasm, upon ligand binding, this protein moves to the nucleus and stimulates transcription of target genes.
