Description

General description

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) is a helix-loop-helix transcription factor and a heterodimeric protein. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 7p211. The encoded protein is a member of the helix-loop-helix/Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH/PAS) family of transcription factors. AHRis mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and is found in a complex with chaperone proteins such as HSP90 (heat shock protein 90), XAP2 (X-associated protein 2 ) and p23 (cochaperone for the Hsp90).

This gene encodes a ligand-activated 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. Its ligands included a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) helps in the inhibitory effects of 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-benzothiazole (YL-109) on development and invasion of MDA-MB-231 (breast adenocarcinoma cell line) by upregulation of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70)-interacting protein (CHIP). The encoded protein regulates invasiveness and metastasis of breast cancer cells. Ahr mediates various biological responses to extensive environmental pollutants.
